Tempe PD Musings

[scannerizer]

Been reading the Tempe PD polices on the Tempe City website. Some interesting finds:

There is only a North and South dispatch channels (with Broadway being the divider). There doesn't appear to be a Central. These are part of the A-Deck.

The "E", subfleet, Mill Avenue, is used by the bike team on Friday and Saturday nights.

The "B," subfleet is used for information checks.

You can read more at the Tempe PD website, but I think we should freshen up the TG listings a little bit. I was listening to Central (A3) and wondering why it was offline so much. As it turns out, there's only North and South.

Some of the RWN agencies have TGs for every possible need and want. A significant number of them are devoid of traffic and exist only for some "future need".

As far as Tempe goes, the "Central" TG could be from the radio tech set up and confirmed then, while one of their police chiefs later decided it wasn't needed.

The Central TG is for future use, when call density warrants it and budget exists for dispatcher. I have heard the Central TG used ocassionally for informal unmonitered (by a dispatcher) communications.

Seen the Central (2602) come up several times in Calls. We should update the DB to reflect that. I think Peoria PD has something like that m, too.

Peoria has one dispatch center and while they have plans to expand like Glendale PD has to a North dispatch, it hasn't occurred yet.

To avoid making another posting, would you happen to know the cutoff for North and South Glendale police dispatch?
