Several years ago CHP H-80 (at the time a long ranger out of dagget) was shot down over death valley some crazys held up in a valley with a assualt rifles, no injuries, suspects hit an oil line. Back in the day there was a couple of riverside choppers shot down over casablanca (slum). 2 seperate inc...

Maybe the MDT's. But those are almost all gone. The new MCT's are cell phone based. So it's neither possible or legal.

There are 19 freqs in the SD city trunk not 6. When patches or multi selects go out, the traffic is carried on one freq only. The trunking system itself spreads the audio over as many talkgroups as are selected at the dispatch console. There are only 6 primary PD dispatch talkgroups though, which w...

Before I became a dispatcher, I was an explorer for one of the aboved mentioned agencies. When working traffic control details we used channel 4 (calcord) on our HT's for pointing out hot girls to each other. good times

I think I have gotten one call from CBP about a female going into labor at the POE in SY, I'm honestly suprised I haven't gotten tons. I have never heard SDFD and TJ fire do any work together.

When patching 2 or more talk groups they still should be using 2 (or more) different freqs. But the dispatchers dont know, dont need to know, wha...

No there is too much traffic for Central to handle the regular stuff and that. Since southeastern is not normally used, they use it for special details as the primary dispatch a lot. There were about 5-6 other channels including tac and special detail channels also used. I listened in too, it was pr...

That doesn't sound very safe. If you are looking for that kind of action, join the professionals. SDPD is hiring, and recruiting for reserves. You are probally going to be spending most of your time in mexico, or chasing already recovered vehicles at tow yards, since the local police gets hits in th...
