The Ohio State Highway Patrol (abbreviated OSHP or OSP) has 55 patrol posts in ten districts, each post covering up to three of Ohio's 88 counties or a portion of the Ohio Turnpike. OSHP is the only law enforcement agency with jurisdiction on the turnpike.
  
<pre>1 - Out of service
+
==Coverage Areas and Districts==
2 - In service
+
 
3 - Out of service, subject to call
+
OSHP has consolidated dispatch operations into 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.
4 - Out of service, equipment failure
+
 
5 - Rush
+
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; alternately you may note that the patrol talkgroups of the dispatched posts are patched together. 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.

Latest revision as of 09:49, 21 December 2023

The Ohio State Highway Patrol (abbreviated OSHP or OSP) has 55 patrol posts in ten districts, each post covering up to three of Ohio's 88 counties or a portion of the Ohio Turnpike. OSHP is the only law enforcement agency with jurisdiction on the turnpike.

Coverage Areas and Districts

OSHP has consolidated dispatch operations into 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; alternately you may note that the patrol talkgroups of the dispatched posts are patched together. 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 District and Post locations as well as each post responsible for dispatching.
