Inter-county communications

[wbswetnam]

I remember when I was monitoring in Missouri 25 years ago, that when counties needed to communicate with each other, they would use the point-to-point frequency of 155.370. I think that here in Arkansas they used 37.240, correct?

Anyway, obviously they still communicate with each other, but not via radio. Are they using teletype? Email? How do counties communicate information with each other?

TELETYPE??? Where have you been for the last 25 years or so?

I do travel around the country frequently to different 911 dispatch centers. If one center needs to talk with another, it generally is via the landline. This way the phones don't lite up with all sorts of people wanting to know what is going on if you say something over the radio.

Or they send messages via ACIC terminal.

Oh, and they do still use the "National Law" channel 155.3700. But if you aren't within a few hundred yards of the cars, you won't here them. At least in South Arkansas they still use it.

Also AWIN has "Direct" which is car to car that they can use as well.
