Wash County Police/Sheriff Dispatch

[MNPostmaster]

Washington county law enforcement uses ARMER that has north dispatch and south dispatch. Does anyone know which agencies use which one? I know it would seem like common sense, but Woodbury PD, for example, seems to use both. Is there a geographical cut-off? Do agencies sometimes use both, or at least monitor both?

Sometimes they're all on north, and sometimes they split the channel and use south. When they do have it split it usually seems to be woodbury and south are on the south channel

It appears WashCo South includes Oakdale, Woodbury, Cottage Grove and WashCo Sheriff South. I think the reason you're seeing Woodbury and other WashCo south cities on North is due to staffing in the dispatch center. At times it appears all of WashCo is on the North.

FYI, All of WashCo Fire uses the North TG. The South Fire TG has no activity on it.

Hope that helps!

Law North and South get patched during slow times at night / early AM. Generally, 36 is the line when both are active. County is all on North.
