The first message was sent out on reporting a stolen vehicle in Ligonier. Fortunately, by the end of 1934 nearly $50,000 in necessary funding had been raised to implement the new communications system.In 1935, five Western Electric AM transmitters were put in place in Indianapolis, Columbia City, the Culver Military Academy, Seymour, and Jasper. The original method of communication between trooper and district headquarters amounted to the trooper having regular stops on his patrol route where he called in by telephone at designated intervals to receive dispatch information. The pursuit of Dillinger and other criminals was greatly hampered by the lack of an effective statewide communications system. The goal was for this network to develop a communications link between law enforcement agencies. That same year the Indiana Banker’s Association and the Governor’s Contingency Fund set out to raise money to create a statewide short wave radio network. Even though Dillinger had been killed by the FBI in July of 1934, Indiana still ranked fourth in the nation in bank robberies. While gangsters such as John Dillinger plagued the country back in the late 1920’s and early ‘30’s, their exploits did prompt some “progress” in Indiana State Police communications.
