The Wisconsin State Patrol's Communications Unit is comprised of four dispatch centers located throughout the state:
Law Enforcement Dispatchers (LEDs) assigned to the communications centers serve in a critical role for inter-agency coordination to maximize efficient and effective law enforcement operations. LEDs are a central coordination point-of-contact between law enforcement, emergency services, and the public. The Communication Unit utilizes a variety of computer programs and technologies to track incidents, obtain and relay critical information for emergency services.
The Communication Dispatch Centers are staffed and/or remotely staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and communicate regularly with external partner agencies located in Wisconsin and Midwest. The Communications Unit works closely with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Traffic Management Center for the coordination of traffic incidents and events throughout Wisconsin's interstate and highway systems.
