County-wide Dispatch System

All Hendricks County public safety agencies use Indiana Project Hoosier SAFE-T (Motorola) for dispatch and tactical communications. All dispatching is handled by the Hendricks County Communications Center located in Plainfield. There are four SAFE-T sites in Hendricks County (Plainfield, northwest of Danville, Clayton, and Brownsburg). They are operated as a simulcast system in that all towers use the same frequencies and handle the same traffic.

Talkaround/Fireground

In addition to the Project SAFE-T talkgroups, Hendricks County Fire radios are programmed with 853.0125 MHz FM simplex PL 156.7 Hz as a talkaround channel. This channel is often used as a Fireground channel where SAFE-T repeater coverage is poor.

County Law Enforcement Numbering
