Abstract:
Communication for police, especially in dispatch scenarios, was limited until developments in radio. The first state-wide police radio channel was established on October 16, 1936 and hoped to be functional by January 1937. Costs for local police departments ranged from &50 to $125 to hook into the system, all other related costs fell on the state to build and maintain broadcasting stations.
