Saw the following news story on WEAU TV13 out of Eau Claire. Hopefully the link will work...or you may have to cut and paste to get the story.

UPDATE: State patrol dispatch sees changes across the state

Should be interesting. I know I've heard Eau Claire Post dispatchers on Spooner Post NW7 on the weekend occasionally. Also this fall there was a trooper in a 10-80 in Bayfield County and the duty sergeant was in Black River Falls following and directing the response.

It truly is a connected statewide system.

There's only two Dispatchers in Spooner. When they're not working the traffic is routed/patched to Eau Claire.

Right now, every WSP dispatch has access to all the districts talkgroups. So DeForest post could answer the call for Spooner or Wausau if needed.

Correct, however the current practice for the last few years have had Eau Claire taking over for Spooner when they're out of service.
