Franklin County Public Safety is where 95% of the action is.

But MARCS-IP and COIRS are also used pretty heavily. Just depends on where you'll be and who you want to listen to.

And don't forget that OSP is still on old MARCS.

Most fire departments in Franklin County (all except the three on COIRS) are analog on either the Franklin County Public Safety or Grove City systems, for a little while longer at least. There are no conventional dispatch channels left.

Unless I'm forgetting someplace, the only non-trunked public safety agencies left in Franklin County are Grandview Heights PD, Reynoldsburg PD, and the Fairfield County Sheriff's Office (which has a contract to patrol Canal Winchester).
