I am considering a BC996XT and have heard that they can now display the Unit Ids. Is this possible for the CSP?

The troopers do not get dispatched by car number or unit number except for those in example troop a uses the letters AC for the constables for the various towns it patrols ,the trooper are called over the radio by badge number,so if you have friends on the force,ask them for their badge number and then you will know where and heat calls they are going to. I hope this helps
I know. I was just under the impression that the badge number was displayed. I believe the CSP dispatchers can see what trooper is calling even if no voice is heard. If they can, what do they see? Just a radio ID or badge number?
The dispatcher will see an alias if one is programmed.

I'm not sure if I remember correctly from the time I was dispatching for CSP but I believe thee trooper's badge number is programed to be associated with the radio's ID number via the system and not into the actual radio.
Cars and radios are swapped around all the time, so what might be radio ID 340623 one day for Trooper Jones may be assigned to someone else next time you see that ID number.
They aren't swapped all that often but since every trooper is issued a vehicle with a mobile as well as a portable, there are quite a few radios out there. Between radio repairs, new vehicles, new radios and new troopers, the aliases are constantly being updated.
Also as an aside, Troop C, D, E, & K are now all dispatched out of the Troop C (Tolland) Barracks.

Separate Call Takers and Radio Dispatchers.
Roll of the dice on call takers who you get - they just answer the next call and enter into the CAD - that populates a pending event for each 'troop' dispatcher.
Loosing a ALOT of local knowledge and PERSONAL service.

Now that they consolidated will it change the ids on the system? so now you can hear the dispatch for d,e and k on troops c dispatch channel ?
