FARMVILLE – Prince Edward County Sheriff Tony Epps hears the problem every night. It’s not something that can be fixed with extra manpower or volunteers. And in some cases, it can cause issues when one of his men is responding to a call.
“I listen to my guys every night until I go to sleep and every night I hear them trying to talk and the dispatcher can’t hear them on the radio,” Epps said. “The dispatcher says you’re gonna have to give me a 21, which means give me a telephone call. Sometimes, you can’t do that if you’re in a bind. If you’re wrestling with somebody by yourself and you try to get somebody there to help and you’ve got to make a phone call? You can’t do that every time.”
