Too real Dispatch S(whoever) can you sign me in? My reply as a tc: “no”

Seriously why are you doing that on primary

I work in a dispatch center downstate (countywide psap) Something of this magnitude I can’t even imagine. I just hope they eventually got everyone on the statewide channel to be able to talk to each other. Plus these days a lot of departments are on different digital networks that don’t always talk to each other and the statewide channel is VHF and not everyone has that programmed on their portables.

We Recently had a traffic pursuit terminate in our county it was stemming from home invasion, stolen vehicle, robbery, all that good stuff. It all started a few counties away. We had 3 different county sheriff offices there, state police, a village police department, and a few full time city departments involved.

It went about as well as expected. All of the agencies from our county have interoperability and everyone went to the same channel. But for the other agencies it was a little sketchy: we can monitor some of our neighboring counties but we can’t transmit. So we were playing a game of telephone: someone was listening to their coms someone else was on the phone with their dispatch and we were all talking to each other in our dispatch room and our dispatcher was relaying info to our guys and gals on the street. Once things slowed down we were able to move everyone to a statewide channel.

We managed to catch the bad guy and all the good guys went home to their families.
