Middletown to layoff dispatchers, join county's 911 center

Here's the article. It doesn't mention a specific cut over date for all operations but said that 911 calls would be transferred to the County on April 15.

I imagine if the County successfully handles Middletown then we'll see more towns jump on board.

This is no surprise. Its been in the works since mid 2015. And still many months away from any cut-over.

Hi guys. Can someone Please tell me what's County giving away? Who's next West Long Branch PD? Oh yeah, they move over too. I can only guess that Middletown is staying on their New radio system & NOT moving over to the County Chaos System. As always happy monitoring, God Bless & all the best. 73's

 

[Tech792]

Correct...Middletown staying on their own frequencies.

 

[timekeeper]

Thank GOD for that!!!! And you too Tech792 for the info. At lease the Middletown dispatchers are being offered dispatcher positions with County. Lets hope it's a smooth transition for all involved. The Middletown PD 2 that's being tested sounds good in the Belmar area. Well till next time, happy monitoring & 73's.

Middletown joins Monmouth's 911 dispatch center - Greater Media Newspapers

"The county can offer cutting edge services, digital technology, greater interoperability and access to a much larger communications staff.”

i am going to assume this means middletown police are switching to the County system, and their dispatch will be Enctypted, and not monitorable. correct?

 

[timekeeper]

Needless to say we need to see what happens. Neptune PD and Tinton Falls PD are still on their own frequencies. And, Englishtown God knows what's up with them. Happy monitoring, God Bless and all the Best. 73's

OK, folks that's why you Monmouth county listeners need to monitor the situation. Middletown has 2 data base listings, the current one, and a new one and according to posts will be switching over to soon???However, with them going over to Monmouth county for dispatch of their services as previously posted presents a whole new problem. Will they go to their new system or go to the county 700 P-25 Trunk system? Or perhaps something in between? It's a "wait and hear" issue. So keep monitoring and let the group and RR admin know of any changes ASAP!

Thanks

A month has gone by or since 4/20/16...
Middletown - Any news yet? Have they switched to their new channel plan? Or are they somewhere in-between or waiting for the county?
Any update(s) would be appreciated!

i have a monitor on them on a daily basis. i do however only listen to their main fire channel, 154.295. if and when they switch pl tone's, i'll monitor everything else, and find out if anything else changed.

I picked up some chatter today on the new fire operations channel. So, the new channel plan might finally be in effect.

That was their PD talking. They will use Fire Ops as a back up from time to time.

TECH....what's the latest on the switch over???

 

[Tech792]

After many false starts, the PD finally switched over to the new simulcast system on Tuesday 09/13/16.
Fire/EMS will switch on Monday 09/19/16 at 9 am. Followed by a roll call of all FD apparatus.

Unrelated, the county dispatch & 911 is slated to cut-over sometime in late October. (Although this date keeps changing)

Has FD/EMS switched to the new system as planned on 9/19?
If so, please advise and I will finally delete the old Middletown listings.

Thanks

That's a lot of apparatus to roll call...

 

[Tech792]

Yes switch was made yesterday. The old listing can be deleted.

Database updated to reflect change in fireground channel names. No more Fire Ops, just Fire 1, Fire 2,... Fire 5. Thanks Tech792 & K2YYN for updates!
