FARGO (KFGO-AM) -- The assistant director of Red River Regional Dispatch in Fargo has been named the new director of the public safety communications center.
Mary Phillippi will replace Byron Sieber, who's retiring early next month. Sieber has been the director for about six years. Phillippi has worked in emergency communications for 27 years.
She was among two finalists for the position after two out-of-state candidates dropped out of contention. The other finalist was former Fargo Police Capt. Tod Dahle.
