Roosevelt County (MT)

The entire of Roosevelt County is contained within the Ft Peck Indian Reservation. This leads to a somewhat different approach to law enforcement and fire operations, with a cooperation between the various agencies which is sometimes confusing.

Dispatch for law enforcement and fire seems to be on a community by community basis as opposed to a county dispatch. For example SO units in the Poplar area are dispatched by 'Poplar Dispatch' as are fire units including the BIA fire units. There is a central 911 center (located in Wolf Point) which contains all the dispatchers, but each community is handled on it's own set of channels. EMS and Fire are paged on a paging frequency, but then contact Dispatch on a community dispatch channel.
