Counties not on Ohio MARCS System

dispatcher40 · Mar 15, 2016

I'm curious to know how many counties in Ohio currently do not use the MARCS radio system for their Fire and EMS services / law enforcement. I know some counties use MARCS for law enforcement but do not yet have funding for fire and ems to be on the system.

I know of the following:

Darke
Preble
Shelby
Logan

Please name any others that you are aware of...

Shelby County has some MARCS in SGT cars, but LE as well as fire /ems is still on vhf / Logan Co So and village pd's are on MARCS, but Bellefontaine PD and FD are turbo

Most of Muskingum Fire is not - there is some limited townships, but I think the only one near complete is Falls Twp. No idea on future plans

City of Zanesville , fie and PD are not.

Fairfield is predominantly UHF.

It would probably be easier to go to the MARCS pages and scroll down through the county lists and see who is using MARCS and who isn't.

I count about 53 counties with regular talk groups on the new system with several due to come online, namely Pickaway. Montgomery, and Hamilton.

Doing it the hard way

I think you'd be better off creating a list of the counties that have All Public Safety Forces on MARCS. I'd be willing to bet that it's a really short list.

Those counties not on the list are what you are looking for.

Jefferson and Belmont are not. They are on MARCS IP. Two different animals

Belmont county is on a stand alone system not MARCS-IP

That's what I get for assuming. I saw the MARCS IP towers listed and thought they moved. All I ever hear is the prison for Belmont

You were right that they have marcs ip but county fire and police are on a separate system. The only thing that is on marcs down there is the prison odot and sometimes Harrison co. Guernsey co. Monroe co. Ans oshp when they get on it

This is why I was asking. I didn't think this was accurate.
