This is State Radio in Bismarck.
I've got some conflicting information.
You guys aren't going to abandon the PD, are you?
Abandon the PD?
Yeah.
We've got some information here that I don't think is accurate,
that your PSAP is closing down and they're going to transfer the 111 calls to us.
We are not closing down.
Do you have a fax or something from us?
No.
There might have been a memo sent out because we're close to the dike,
and if it breaks, if it knocks everything out,
there may be a possibility that that would happen, I think, until it got restored.
No, we're not abandoning or evacuating anything right now here at the PD.
Okay, I just want to, you guys are the only information that that was happening,
but I understand that it's a share of stuff.
We've got to move.
Yeah, they're across the street from us not too far,
but right now with our PSAP we are running full strength in our regular building.
All right?
Yeah, thanks a lot.
Yeah.
