Lincoln County Possible Dispatch Change?

[DickH]

I was being a little facetious with four, but maybe that's how drastic it could be over next 10 years. (Central Oregon counties taking about consolidating 5 centers, and whats happening in the Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon. -Radio system interop. between multiple counties.)

I hope they remember the old admonition, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Just thought i would let everyone know i was at NORCOM today and they have officially taken over south Marion County operations for Santiam Canyon 9-1-1... a few of the dispatchers transferred over and NORCOM only has 2 consoles currently set up for that radio system but the merge is deff still a work in progress.. Lots of confusion in the middle of "in progress call" for the dispatchers that are taking calls for south county that usually only take calls for north county... They are playing with a few different console set ups and to see how they eventually want to set the whole 9-1-1 center up so that every console can dispatch for both parts of the county.
