Anyone know the "firm" date of the Ohio State Highway Patrol abandoning their dispatch at the "local" patrol posts?
As we understand it, each district post throughout the state will be handling ALL the trooper's traffic in their respective district shortly after the 1st of the year.
I know that they've been swapping various posts dispatching if someone is off or calls in sick. Our post (Gallipolis) sometimes covers Athens or Lawrence. That has been going on for a while now.
Sometimes Jackson or Athens covers for the Gallipolis post....
I just wonder if they have "completely" thought that thru.....
The dispatchers currently employeed at our post will have to drive to district (Jackson) every day to cover their shift....
Just wondering what everyone elses is hearing....
