I thought I remember reading along time ago that fairfax county paired up all there police districts to have one dispatcher for two districts. Is this still the case, and do they simulcast dispatches across both the channels or only use the one that they need. Thanks.

I know it used to be the case... like Sully/Fair Oaks were paired, and Reston/McLean were paired... don't remember the other two pairings though. Not sure if they're still paired or not... haven't really listened to Fairfax in a while.

Yes, they still pair the districts. At least with Uniden scanners, you'll only be able to monitor on one of the patched talkgroups.

Usually Annandale and West Springfield are patched. Also Franconia, Mt Vernon and Fort Belvoir.
Headquarters is also with the Sully-Fair Oaks patch.
