Counties work together on emergency radio system

A new regional radio “logger” system that will record law enforcement and other emergency radio traffic and 911 calls in a 10-county area will be housed at the Kandiyohi County dispatch center in Willmar and the Meeker County Sheriff’s Office in Litchfield.

A new regional radio “logger” system that will record law enforcement and other emergency radio traffic and 911 calls in a 10-county area will be housed at the Kandiyohi County dispatch center in Willmar and the Meeker County Sheriff’s Office in Litchfield.

The system is another step in regional cooperation that helps many different agencies improve services at a reduced cost, said Kandiyohi County Sheriff Dan Hartog.

“It’s another example of how counties and city of St. Cloud can work together for one main goal,” said Hartog.

The regional system for logging data — from phone calls to radio chatter — will be used by Kandiyohi, Meeker, Big Stone, Douglas, Grant, Mille Lacs, Ottertail, Pope, Stevens and Wright counties and the city of St. Cloud.
