The Bloomberg administration came under fire yesterday from elected officials over delays in releasing a report that found serious problems in the city’s 911 system.
The Post reported Monday that the Bloomberg administration is trying to suppress the report — commissioned by Hizzoner himself — which shows the 911 and emergency-dispatch networks getting worse, despite $2 billion in upgrades.
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, a candidate to succeed Mayor Bloomberg, told a news conference, “Lives hang in the balance when it comes to 911.”
And City Council Speaker Chris Quinn told The Post she “asked the mayor’s office for a copy of the 911 report . . . We will hold additional oversight hearings on the city’s 911 call-processing system.”
The report was done months ago, sources said, but the mayor’s top aides ordered all copies marked “draft” and instructed everyone to keep quiet.
“We’ll put it in when we get a final report that pulls together all of the relevant data,” Bloomberg said yesterday.
