Consolidated Dispatching

Consolidated Dispatch

The OSP has [or soon will have] consolidated dispatch operations into [supposedly] 21 regional dispatch centers where dispatching occurs for multiple posts. This was done in an attempt to save money, supposedly because there will be less need for overtime and dispatchers will not be forced to stay over if another dispatcher calls in sick.

What this means for scanner listeners is that depending upon what dispatcher console is covering dispatching duties at the time, you may hear one post being dispatched on another post's talkgroup. So if you want to be sure to hear the radio traffic for the post that is in your area, you'll need to make sure that you have the talkgroups for all posts dispatched by that particular dispatch center programmed into your scanner.

Below are the consolidated dispatch locations along with a list of the posts that the particular DC is responsible for.
