NYPD Parade Detail

[jcop225]

I'm new to monitoring in NYC. Generally what channels are used for large scale planned events such as the West Indian Parade here in Brooklyn tomorrow?

I would assume they keep the high volume of traffic off the precinct channels but would they go to citywide for such a localized event?

Same question for FDNY and EMS ops.

Most likely the citywide channels and also some of the low power Tac channels

Thanks for the tip. All 3 citywide channels were active for the parade today. CW1 seemed to be the main detail channel. With 2 being interdivision coordination and 3 was command and control.
