TG 32336 - Montgomery County Police Funeral Motorcade precession traffic

Wondering if this is a temp TG or this will be the default alternate TG for these types of events

Traffic:
Talking about motorcade traffic

"..Connecticut and Dresden.."

Yes, I'm also hearing preparations for a multi-jurisdiction motorcade on the TG. Montgomery County Police, US Park Eagle 2 and Maryland State Police on this TG, Virgina State Police also involved in the motorcade but not heard yet.

[redburgundy]

Based on what I'm seeing on trafficland.com, this is almost certainly a POTUS motorcade.

This was evidently a visit to Viers Mill Elementary School.

yea, I wasn't sure the destination as was obviously intended but I heard the "package" had been secured at 1230 hours and units cleared the TG and Eagle 2 cleared as well on 166.725 (USPP CH 1/6)

I was listening to WTOP 103.5 traffic and they kept mentioning "police activity" which I thought was a bit humorous given the actual nature of the "event".

on the USSS freqs I had full bars on SS Tango (most likely the base station side) and faint intermittent traffic on Charlie

Also heard some related traffic on 39.32 MSP Rockville Barrack "N" but the majority of traffic was on TG 32336 MC TRS

Not that it necessarily means anything but that talkgroup is near some of the other patch talkgroups numerically. Could anyone tell if this was a patch to another channel, maybe a US Park Police channel?

From what I can recall, there was a Motorcade Command, a MSP Command (unit N2), and units 450 and 550 (which seem like Montgomery County motorcycle designations) that were running the show. (I know, it was really Secret Service that was running the show.) US Park was using their 166.725 and their Eagle 2 was on both 166.725 and the Montgomery County TG. I never heard any relevant activity on the Virginia State Police 159.000. Not clear who Motorcade Command was. Almost everything on the county TG was in the clear, except at the very end I heard some encrypted transmissions.
