Hello. Is there anyone who has an updated list of BSO and fire rescue talk groups? I am most interested in the BSO dispatch and operations talk groups with specifics on the districts covered for each talk group, and the towns/areas in each district. The radioreference listing has some holes in it which I can't figure out. For example, Dispatch 1 and Dispatch 2 are listed without corresponding districts. There also seems to be some discrepancies in the district numeric list they provide when comparing with other sites. The map provided at the BSO web site has no district numbers on it.

If the radioreference list is in fact correct, what are dispatch 1 and 2 and what areas do they cover?

I do understand that BSO handles dispatch for municipal police departments in the county in addition to the areas covered by BSO.

I am trying to understand what talk groups cover what towns/areas of Broward County and it is quite confusing. What I am really looking for in BSO is:
1) dispatch talk groups
2) districts covered on those talk-groups (BSO and municipal)
3) towns/areas covered by a given district

With regard to Fire Rescue I have 3 questions. I undertand there are 4 dispatch areas (North, East, West and South).
1) Are all runs (fire duty and EMS) disptached over the air?
2) Are all EMS runs dispatched over the air on the same fire dispatch talkgroups?
3) When was the Broward county EMS (and those cool squads they had about 20 years ago) disbanded or handed over to Fire Rescue?

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to a trip to Broward--great scanning. It's been two years since I've been down there and it's hard to figure these things out when things have changed a lot and you can't listen yet. I'd like to be programmed correctly on arrival!

Do you have the ability to read an Excel spreadsheet? If so, PM me and I can send you an Excel spreadsheet with most of the Broward County talkgroups on it. I also have one that lists all of the county fire stations and their locations.

To answer some of your questions:

BSO dispatch 1 (4112) is Stockade/detention deputies and prisioner transport.
BSO dispatch 2 (4144) is Community service aides.

The Broward County Sheriff's Office has taken over Broward County Fire/Rescue. It's now known as Broward Sheriff's Fire/Rescue. They have dispatch north (8208), dispatch south (8272), and dispatch west (9232). All Broward County fire/rescue units work from the north channel (8208) regardless of where in the county they are located. On the south channel (8272) you will find Davie and Hallandale, as these cities have their own fire departments and aren't part of Broward County fire/rescue. On the west channel (9232) you will find Oakland Park, Tamarac, Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, and North Lauderdale. There have been some recent changes, so I may be overlooking a couple here and there.

Yes, all fire and EMS calls are dispatched over the air on the same talkgroups. A "working" fire or incident will usually be assigned a "TAC" channel, usually tac alpha (8496), tac bravo (8528), or tac charlie (8560).

Thanks very much, Ken. That is very helpful.

So is the Fire "central" talk group 8240 listed at radioreference not in use? Also, do you know which BSO talkgroup covers the airport?

Thanks again!

Correct, the "central" fire/rescue talkgroup is not in use. Never has been as far as I know. The BSO talkgroup covering the airport is 4592, which is their channel 2B. Airport operations (not BSO) can be found on 12400.

BSO's Central Fire talkgroup was in use when Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue operated off of 3F on the Broward County system, and were dispatched by Broward County. In 1998, FLFR transitioned over to the city's own radio system with their own dispatchers, leaving the talkgroup no longer in use. In BSO Fire radios 3F will still be FLFR dispatch, however obviously the radio is tuned to a Fort Lauderdale radio system talkgroup and channels.

Yes that's true, but the listing for the Broward County "Central" talkgroup (8240 decimal) has either never been used, or was used very early on and then dropped in favor of the configuration that you have mentioned.

Hi, you both seem to have alot of info on the trunk ID for BSO.

Wondering if you can decode this for me? I see them on the radioref section for BSO , but they dont list what they mean? I managed to get the citys main dispatch channels, but I was looking for the car to car for each city, and what (SPPur12G,Super K,C.I. 1) all stand for?

Thanks
