Narrative:

I was the pilot flying and the captain was the pilot monitoring. We performed a normal takeoff from runway 6 but as we climbed out the captain noticed that the red gear handle disagreement light was staying illuminated for an extended time; and I could hear that the hydraulic pump was still on. We reached a safe altitude and the captain went through the emergency non-normal checklist for landing gear. I flew the airplane while the captain completed the checklists and contacted ATC and dispatch. The landing gear was left in the down and locked position per the checklist and we discussed the various special considerations for gear-down flight. We decided that the best course of action was to divert instead of landing at the planned destination. Dispatch concurred and the captain copied corrected numbers to our flight plan and notified the flight attendant and passengers. The remainder of the flight; the approach; landing and taxi were uneventful.
