DPS Dispatcher Shortage
DPS East and South will sometimes combine
DPS South or Officially DPS District 16 on Freq.465.275
DPS East or Officially DPS District 13 on Freq.465.2
At times when they do not have enough staff, both channels combine and one dispatcher will cover both and the two frequencies will relay. This happens often on the CID channels as well.
This usually happens during the least busiest times, almost always they will be separate during morning and evening rush hour.
If you set your system up and end up getting a digital P25 scanner, you can program in most local PD's (except for Salt River , they are completely encrypted)
For example, I have 3 scanners, 2 non digital and 1 P25 (BCD996P2), the other day dispatch on DPS District 11 Globe recieved a call on for a motorcycle accident off of the 87 neer Sycamore Creek, they then called for District 13 to cover, next on the fire channel you could hear the dispatch for FD to be 10-19. Shortly after they called in MCSO because it was off road in the desert. You can hear MCSO East Valley request a lift and shortly after, Helo was being launched. So with the digital and analog scanners going, it was some good listening to hear all the traffic with the different agencies.
Same happens with felony chases or searches, then you get all this and most agencies switch to G deck on Interop G1
Good stuff
