Starts Friday June 26th till July5th. Grant Park is where it's been held for many years. CPD has used City-wide 6 (460.250 -CTCSS 162.2) in years past as their primary frequency. City-wide 5 (460.350 -CTCSS 97.4) is used during the fireworks shows on July 3rd & 4th as "permiter control", which usually means the downtown area. Last year when the shooting occured on the 3rd of July, this was one active frequency. Zone 4 (460.150- CTCSS 114.8) is the primary Zone for the 1st police district which encompasses Grant Park. Look for hightened security this year. I know their is a low-powered frequency in use by the Taste staff , so if anyone is close, can search for this one.
CFD has used the digital frequencies in the past. 477.5125, 478.4625 have been the two primary ones. Have heard alot of testing of others in the past month, so it's possible others will be used...will have to confirm to update. EMS-North (460.600-CTCSS 156.7), EMS Command (462.975-CTCSS 156.7), Fire Main (154.130-CTCSS 156.7) Fireground (154.295-CTCSS 91.5) have been used in year's past. Any visitors may start there. Here's an article today outlining security procedures:
