Southern ISP districts now being dispatched by Du Quoin

[stevelton]

The local radio station reported that D22, D12, and D19 Illinois State Police Dispatch centers have been moved to D13 in Du Quoin. Supposedly they dismantled all the equipment at each of the old dispatch centers.

Now dispatchers at Du Quoin will be dispatching troopers on their respective districts talkgroups.

This will be fun when a trooper reports a location that only a local person would know what he was tlaking about!
I have not had my Starcom radio on yet today to listen to the traffic.

Some (but not all) dispatchers from the remote districts will be retained and relocated so hopefully there will be someone that knows the nooks and crannies of the districts...

I also believe that D14 (Macomb) and D20 (Pittsfield) are now being dispatched by D09 (Springfield) at this time as well.

Strangely enough I heard D1 dispatch B tg 9001 on the tower down here in bloomington yesterday. D17 came through the day before and these aren't tg's I normally hear.
