Hey everyone, I have a few questions about the Cleveland Police Radio system currently being utilized by the City of Cleveland. I understand that they are on the old and outdated Motorola VSELP Digital radio system. I was just curious, does anyone know what kind of mobiles or portables the agency utilizes? I take it probably Motorola's Astro Series line.
Also, does anyone with some history know what the old Cleveland Police frequencies used to be before they moved onto the digital system? Were they on UHF (I take it), VHF, or something else and what equipment did they run at that time if anyone knows.
I've tried to do some research online and can't seem to figure out if Cleveland PD has the MDTs in the patrol cars and at least dash cams. Can't seem to find a straight answer - so I figured I might as well ask someone in this forum who may be more familiar with the area than I am.
I from Erie, PA where pretty much everything is analog apart from the State Police and was always curious about how the big city to the west had for the communications equipment. Never seen any of their radios before, lol. Where we come from, we have a consolidated dispatch center. Anyone know how Cleveland Police and the surrounding areas (Lakewood, East Cleveland, etc) do it? Do they have a consolidated center or do they self dispatch from their stations? Always curious how other areas do it.
Thanks,
