Voorhees PD (Camden Co)

[paul_c]

Hello, is it my understanding that Voorhees PD is now on 700MHz and it is encrypted? (therefore even if I have a radio that can get this frequency--and I don't think my Pro-2096 will--I won't be able to listen?)

Thank you for any info

There is nothing that can monitor encryption. To be blunt without intending to be rude, your days of monitoring them are sadly over.

+1, Vorhees is out for monitoring, period.

PD's that Camden County dispatches will be encrypted when the switch to the the new P25 radio system is complete later this year. Voorhees PD was the first to go onto the new system & can no longer be monitored. Cherry Hill, Gloucester Twp, Winslow, & Camden will continue to handle their own dispatching & will still be able to be monitored. All fire & EMS will switchover in April but their channels are not encrypted. The GRE PSR-800 is currently the only scanner available that can monitor Camden County's new system. Major changes

Why is Camden Co on the backup system meaning the DPS Channels

[policefreak]

Judging by the weather tonght its a good possibility they're doing that because theyre receiving DTV interference on their regular TBand frequencies.

oh ok true thank you 4 the info

[fireradio44]

Any time they are on DPS channels, it is almost always due to DTV interference.

[Skypilot007]

Anyone know what the frequency is for DPS-5? I heard zone 4 switch to that early this morning. Also anyone know if they will use these DPS channels after the switch to the new system?

[policefreak]

I'm hearing them now on 460.6125.

[Monoxide16]

Is Patco Police going on this system also cause aren't the self dispatched

[Monoxide16]

Meant to say aren't they my bad lol

[fireradio44]

Patco handles their own. They will not be on the Camden County system.

Camden County only dispatches for county municipalities and county agencies (Sheriff, Prosecutor, Park Police, etc). PATCO/DRPA not affiliated with Camden County. They can patch into the system though for mutual aid.

CamCo PD will be expanding to other towns after Camden City. I'd think they'd want their entire dept on the same system and would choose the newer one with better capabilities and county-wide reach.

Oh ok true and thank you

No plans to come to the County for dispatch. As of now, they are keeping their dispatchers.

Well, just checked the data base as I usually do when logging on.

There are about umpteen new TGs for the new Camden County system, including Camden city.

I can only tell you that as of today, there are no plans.

Also, the only police talkgroup that has been created is Voorhees, and that's the only provision for PD operations at this point. Rollout of Fire/EMS is the priority for now.
