The Forsyth County Sheriff Office has two dispatch channels. Does anyone know if these channels are used for different areas of the county, and if so, is there a map showing this?

As far as I know they use the second when they have units on a scene and want to "hold other traffic on that channel." They move the other units to channel 2 and have the on scene units continue on channel 1. Dispatch will then be on channel 2 until the situation on channel 1 is cleared.
Most other agencies I have monitored move the "on scene" units to a Tac channel and continue normal dispatch on the primary channel.
I have not done much monitoring ot FCSO in the last couple of years, things may have changed.

i hear forsyth county a lot-you are correct-dispatch channel 2 is primarily for when a priority one incident is occuring on channel 1. all areas are covered on channel one. hope this helps
Thanks guys!
