Redkey Post

[Dispatch2323]

I've heard several Redkey units advising they are going for radio reprogramming....the Redkey post is entering its final days. RIP

I heard those Redkey units coming back from their programming using new car numbers, not their old District 25 car numbers. I heard a unit that used to be 25-35 using 16-75 asking Peru to check with Marion PD and ask what they had on the bypass.

I think Redkey has passed away, have heard nothing today. At same time, Peru is very active. Also, I see more then 75 D22 radios aff with D22 Tg on Anderson site. No traffic heard.

Its a sad day in this State when we have to close ISP posts in the interest of saving money.

couple days ago i heard red key mark 10-42 on VHFP2P. Then fort wayne marked 10-41 for redkey district, so i dunno if they are still sharing the dispatching duties or if the post is actually closed for good now. happened late around midnight

With Daniels running things were lucky to still have State Police at all. The next stunt he will probably pull is to close all the posts and dispatch everything fom 52 and then troopers will be working more through area PD's and so forth. I know they work out of one of Hancock Counties Satelitte stations often.
This whole mess is supposed to save $$ but it's actually costing more. Just a matter of time though before ISP is dispatched statewide by Dist. 52.

And the sad thing is viper, you are probably right.

25's last day of operation is 11/1.

Theres not too much need for the actual posts (not to be considered the post radio) anymore. The troopers file a ton of paperwork from the car. I have heard from several troopers they are only at the post a couple of times a month.

Yeah I know. The only "glitch" in this idea is that the dispatch center at 52 isn't large enough for the number of dispatchers and consoles and call takers that would be required. So they would have to build another dispatch center for ISP and that would defeat the purpose of combining them all.... saving money. I also doubt many of the present dispatchers would want to live in or near Indy. As it is some already commute to 52 now. Not sure either that there is enough room at the present 52 post to build a new building.
