Central Dispatch is a far superior method then having several departments dispatching their own people. This was there is 1 call center with call takers and several radio opperators. Instead of transferring calls from dispatch center to dispatch center the call taker gets the info sends it via CAD to the radio opperator for immediate dispatch. The call taker will know who/what department will get the call or if on a freeway they will put it out as a GENERAL call for either a County or State unit to grab. There is far less bias with a Central Diaspatch as oppsed to a one department ran center. Take Dispatch out of the hands of the city and county departments and put into the hands of a neutral company to do the radio work. Causes less strife with departments that way.
