The C.I.A????

[SKYNET156]

Now, i know that the CIA is mostly agents, and i am not sure what functions they have beyond 007?
But do they have any systems that they use or frequencies?
Also, what is the police force who works in the CIA buildings?

The Police Force that works at "The Agency" are SPO's, Special Police Officers. Don't let the word "special" fool you. They are just a 0083 position series that work at CIA installations.

The CIA uses a special worldwide low power system. The repeaters are installed in the brains of every person when they are born.This allows complete, worldwide coverage for agents to use covert, low-power transceivers. They are powered by the electrical energy produced by the human body.

Sorry, had to. Not the best conspiracy BS, but the best I could come up with at the moment.

[rfradioconsult]

CIA operations fall under U.N.C.L.E and agents are issued special spread spectrum transceivers usually disguised as fountain pens with voice activitated commands as "open channel D".

Years ago the Police Force were on 165.1125 analog with DES encryption full time, not sure about the current system.

This might sound dumb but why would the CIA use radios in the first place? Most of the agents work undercover and alone so cell phone would be more than efficent. They also work in other countries which raadio systems are completely different than American systems. As for security around their nHQ in Langley you can bet it's probablly encrypted with something none of us know anything about,.

You meant like maybe P25 running type 1 encryption?
(Did I say that out loud? Help! Here come the black helicopters!)

Here are two frequencies from the DB that are in use at Camp Peary, the CIA training center in York County, VA.

Camp Peary (CIA Training Facility)

166.0375 192.8 PL - Security
165.1000 - Camp Peary P25

Remember, Agency employees are Officers not agents. Agents are FN's an Officer recruits to steal secrets from their home country.

The vast majority of wireless communications with stations and Officers around the world is done via digital voice over satcom. HF can also be used. All of the above is secured to the TS//SCI level. STU's and STE's can also carry codeword conversation over ordinary telephone line.

The SPO's have a secure VHF conventional repeater system using mostly EF Johnson subscriber units, with a very few XTS5000 in the mix. They also have a supply of XTS3000's for use on the Fairfax County Smartzone system.

Since they aren't really telling us the details of their organization, one can't be sure, but it seems likely that the CIA is mostly support staff of various kinds as opposed to mostly "agents". From what I've read about the CIA, there seem to be a considerable number of people that provide support for a lesser number of actual undercover employees.

BTW, "Spycraft-The Secret History of CIA Spytechs" by Robert Wallace, et al., is a good read if you'd like to know about some of the technology that has supported the CIA's operations over the years.

I was sure that there wouldn't be any specific radio system that the agents would use,
I was more talking about police ops within the building and administrative and HF,
I know they have HF Nets, but i never found the frequencies

[Net-5]

You guys left out Maxwell Smart and his shoe phone! I wonder what those frequencies were...

What very little I know is that the CIA and the NSA likely have the most advanced comms in the world, given their respective mandates and operations. There is likely very little (if anything) that is beyond their reach.

Meanwhile, I don't think that I would even try to determine what the CIA or GSA (or whoever their police are) freqs may be, or what they are transmitting. Even the lower level physical security stuff. To me, it isn't worth the risk.

I hear the NYC Sanitation Police is a really a deep cover intelligence gathering operation. They are saving everything, not disposing of it. Don't tell anyone though.

Damn it, commstar! Now their cover is blown...
