Possibly going to MARCS or the Stark 800 system...
The Smith Township Police Department will begin being dispatched by the Sebring Police Department on JUNE 29th at 11am rather than June 30th as previously posted.
The Alliance Police Department and Fire Department are upgrading our radio systems to a digital scheme that will provide us with direct communication with the Stark County Sheriff, State Highway Patrol, and other county fire departments and have coverage on our portable radios all over Stark County and into surrounding counties rather than just having coverage in the local Alliance area. This was done due to FCC requirements regarding analog systems that go into effect Dec 31st of this year.
Smith Twp. will remain analog on Sebring’s system. Sebring has already been answering 911 calls for Smith Twp. for several years now. The phone number for police services in Smith Twp. will remain the same – it will ring into Sebring Dispatch after the changeover. Those who monitor Smith Twp. on the scanner over our frequency will need to switch over to Sebring’s. Alliance might not be available over most scanners when we finish our upgrade. It may be available over the computer or iPod/Android apps though.
