A patch needed for emergency personnel using Floyd County’s digital radio system to communicate with users of the system in Polk County is expected to be added in the next few weeks, according to Scotty Hancock, director of the Floyd County Emergency Management Agency.

Currently, mobile radios used in Floyd County are compatible with the systems in neighboring counties except Polk, Hancock added.

Polk County Emergency Management Agency Director Randy Lacey said there have been a few car chases near U.S. 27 that began in Floyd and ended in Polk County.
