CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) A new system that tells a 9-1-1 dispatcher exactly where a cell phone or hard line call comes from in Barnes County on the 9-1-1 operators is up and running.

Sheriff Randy McClaflin says it also tells a dispatcher where a county squad car or vehicle is at all times. McClaflin says each county squad car has the exact tracking monitor in their vehicles.

The tracking map system software cost $55,000 which was paid for jointly by the city and county back in 2002. So far, Valley City police cars do not have the tracking monitors in their vehicles.
