It is 100% training. One of the people said "Beep Beep Beep" when simulating dispatch.
Interesting it is on the TG and interesting that they are really driving. I am very curious as to where they are doing this.
I will post some audio of this later tonight when I get home...
Yeah, I've been copying that for the past couple of days. They keep referring to East Drive and South Street or something like that, but when I heard the
WAY they were talking I knew immediately that this was a training exercise (no adrenaline fueled excitement that you normally hear in an officer's voice during a real pursuit).
I'm not sure where it is, but POST (Police Officers Standards and Training) has a driving range set up somewhere that the agencies use. Last summer (before UCAN started flashing all the radios) they were using one of the UCAN "Event" TGs for this type of training. Every LEO must have so many hours of in-service training under POST each year to maintain their certification which could be on any topic. What we're hearing now is probably part of Sandy's in-service training program and they must've figured they would use their own TGs.

EDIT:
Thanks,
Viper (you put up your post while I was writing mine). I never did know for sure where that driving range was and East Street or East Drive - whatever they are calling it - is obvious in the Satellite View. You can go down to Street Level View and look across the field to get an idea, too.

2nd EDIT:
The Db shows that TG (23840) to be Sandy 2. My dusty list of old TGs says Sandy PD Investigations. I guess they can do what they want with it.
