This shows two of the eight identical workstations at the Santa Rosa (Calif.) police-fire comm center.

This photo was taken without flash and gives a good idea of the indirect, even light from the area around the outer ceiling edge. There are also incandescent lights in a track that are adjustable with a dimmer from each position. The dispatcher in the foreground has her adjustable reading light on.

Each console can perform fire or police radio, call-taking or channel 2 police.

Four other identical workstations are to the left, beyond the low partition to the left of this photo.
