Gates Co Sheriff

[LeSueurC]

Has anyone else noticed Gates Sheriff using SO Admin (19005) for Dispatch?

They have been using VIPER for several years now. They are simulcast on 154.355 as listed in the database. Same thing with EMS. FDs are still using 154.10 as well as some of the EMS members (myself included)

I was more so asking why they were using the Admin and not the Dispatch TG

Possible data entry error in the database???

It's very possible no one noticed and the deputies just all started talking on the same talkgroup and no one noticed, so the dispatcher just uses the same talkgroup communicate back. There are only a few deputies in the county (like 6), and the county being dispatched by the Perquimans County dispatchers part time. The database has not changed, and the Sheriff's office has been on VIPER for a long time. Or maybe the Sheriff's Office just decided to pick that particular talkgroup start using it? Who knows? Plus the county manager who ran the dispatchers office left and a new one hired in the last few months.
