NYPD SRG

[4-crime]

Anyone know what frequency the new SRG unit is working off of as a main frequency?

Response to question

For NYPD SRG which is the new modified task force that bratton created this year, operates on CW1 (470.6875). But also use any division freq that they are operating in. There are 5 SRG units approximately 500+ officers assigned total:
SRG 1 = Manhattan
SRG 2 = Bronx
SRG 3 = Brooklyn
SRG 4 = Queens
SRG 5 = Staten Island

It's an elite unit of the sod (special operations division) who's primary job is to prevent and respond to terrorist threats in public places

Preventing and/or responding to terrorist threats is the job of the "Critical Response Command" (CRC). The Strategic Response Groups (SRG) are the old task forces, whose primary responsibilities are disorder control (riot squad), proving extra manpower for patrol to the local precincts during crime surges, and acting as auxiliary personnel to the Emergency Service Units (ESU - the nypd's swat team) during major incidents. By saying auxiliary personnel, the best example is the recent active shooter at Bronx Lebanon hospital. As ESU clears a floor of the building, SRG personnel will deploy and hold that particular floor so ESU could move to the next floor to clear. They are equipped with heavy weapons and heavy vests/helmets to operate in those environments. SRG and CRC wear the same style of uniforms, and get similar training, but different jobs. CRC guards terror prone sites in the city, and are often the one that you see showing up in black SUV's in front of a location, dressed in their tactical gear and weapons, as a show of force to deter persons who may be conducting surveillance of the location. They also operate different types of detection equipment at the city bridges/tunnels, ports, etc. SRG is part of the Special Operations Division (SOD), which is a component of the Citywide Operations Bureau, while CRC is part of the Counterterrorism Bureau

So basically ESU is a primary threat unit and SRG is a secondary threat unit?

ESU is the advance special forces unit that hits and moves on, then SRG comes in and holds the positions that are cleared until full scene security is accomplished. Then your CSU folks and detectives can play. (Basically in an nutshell)

Good way to put it. When they aren't playing with ESU, or dealing with protesters and demonstrations around the city, they deploy and patrol in local precincts that are experiencing crime surges, to supplement the patrol units. This maybe answering radio runs, focused enforcement in a particular area, or just driving around in circles to increase uniformed presence in the area.

Speaking of focused enforcement...

Disorder Control (demonstrations, protests, etc.) was the bread and butter of the old patrol borough task forces (and the Tactical Patrol Force that preceded them). But small elements within the PBTFs also handled numerous specialty enforcement functions. Stuff like DWI, Scofflaw, Auto Larceny, Radar, BRAVE at QNTF, etc., etc. Who's handling functions such as those, and the Level 1 mobilizations for missing person searches, at the borough level now?

SRG can still handle some of that work (radar enforcement, dwi's), while other functions such auto larceny are handled by teams that work for the local patrol borough specialized units commands. As for level 1's for missing persons, SRG won't respond without approval of a captain or above now, and that limited to certain "special category" missings. The dept realized that the old task forces responding to each missing was more of a check mark on the list as opposed to a effective resource for searching. Too many responses where the missing was a runaway and searching the local area was a waste of time. Hence why they only respond out specific instances only.

SRG still handles the mobilizations. As far as the other functions you mentioned it is up to the patrol boros to use their resources as they see fit.
