We’re switching from Forge to New World in two months and I’ve been hearing mixed reviews. Wondering what you all are using and some of the pros and cons, especially if you have experience with Forge vs New World.

All discussion is open, please keep it 911 dispatch related and civil. We are a gathering place for 911 dispatchers to vent/talk/collaborate on things relating to the wonderful world of public safety communications. Please no politics here, they will be removed as well as brigades of any kind. Also, we are not a 9/11 or September 11th 2001 sub (Welcome to the night shift..)
