FARGO
Test gets police officers up early
Local law enforcement has tested its new "code red" system.
The system enables dispatchers to call homes and businesses to warn of a
possible emergency such as a chemical disaster. It is online in Fargo, Cass
County and in Moorhead and Dilworth, Minn.
Wednesday's test began at 4:30 a.m. Lt. Tod Dahle said employees did not
know the call was coming. While most employees arrived at their designated
assignment in less than two hours, Dahle said the test did find some
communication shortcomings, mainly with secondary call numbers or cell
phone notification.
