[Scan-DC] Washington County EOC

[t11spanner]

As a former resident of Washington County, ITS ABOUT TIME!

I used to have a saying, "Washington County 200 years of tradition, hampered by progress".

And the dispatch center has been a long time coming!  In the basement is an understatement!  More like a dungeon!

Of course, they would wait until I took a dispatch job in Nevada, to expand and bring on more dispatchers also.....

Oh well!!

Carl

Alan (and all),I tried to respond, but it was blocked because of HTML.  Anyway... As a Hagerstown resident and a person who gets the newspaper, I have to say I missed this.The county's 450 MHz APCO-25 system was supposed to have been online by now.  Reading between the lines of the article, I wouldn't expect it to come online until after the dispatch center is completed.
