IMPD District Changes

[INDY72]

Indianapolis Metropolitan PD has made some changes in districts/divisions. East has been regrouped with portions of North, and Southeast, and is now the Northeast District.

IMPD is now divided into North, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest Patrol Districts. I am not sure if further reorganization is in near future. I hope to speak with the Chief soon. (Get to see him regularly at Pa and Ma's Backyard BBQ in the "Post" on MLK!)

And yes I forgot Downtown.....

So Downtown, North, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest. All CID, Traffic, etc are as far as I know, still the same.

Any new district maps available yet?

Not that I know of. And the IMPD website sucks for updated info on many areas. Some of the data there is as old as 2008ish. Some parts are current, but that seems to be the way it goes with government websites. I was confused at first when I no longer heard East over the air, and was only hearing Dispatch, and Control calling Northeast for a month. So I talked with a couple of the officers and was told of the "shuffle". I will keep digging.

So what you are saying is change the alpha tag from ED-1 to NE-1?

 

[INDY72]

Correct, ED is now NE. Some changes due to new administration etc. Some due to just making sense. (Scary, I know, anything making sense in INDY! LOL)

On the new lines: From what I can tell, only a couple of streets will be shifting from North, and from Southeast and the new lines will be very nearly what they are now, with the only big change being the name change from East, to Northeast. If it was up to me, I would yank a chunk of NE, NW, SE, and SW and give to Central (Downtown).... That is way too small an patrol area compared to the other 4. But that's just my thoughts.

Thank you. North District is huge too, and elongated. Castleton Square and 38th/Meridian are in the same district!

Castleton Square and 38Th and Meridian Street are in the North District. Talkgroup N0-1 on IDPS Sys 1

During the Police action shooting on Tues 4/5/16 heard control putting out on NE-1 about all units not involved in the shooting to go to ED-2, ED-1 is is restricted.

The radio TG titles are still the same in the system as it would require a complete reprogramming of all the radios in the IMPD lineup to change the TG profiles in the templates/codeplug. The actual name of the District has changed. I will do a tiny housekeeping touch to our DB.... Will look kinda funny but accurate to show (ED 1 Northeast District Primary) Oh well, I'm going to keep it as NORTHEAST 1 in my scanners as it reflects actual usage. Either way, I am sure someone will not like the way it looks lol.

I'll make the same change in my feed info page. Thanks for the info!

Feed info page and streamed tags have been updated to reflect the district renaming.

 

[INDY72]

Per submitted data, and other sources, all Marion County LEA Radios have now been updated via OTAP and Actual Touch to the new TG Lineup. What was formerly MET-E1, E2, E3 are now officially MET-NE1, NE2, and NE3. You will still hear some officers, and controllers refer to the old nomenclature for some time. After all, some of them still call the IDPSC Radio Shop MECA, and that was long ago changed. Eventually someone in the IT departments of IMPD, and IDPSC will update the web pages to reflect the new line up and maps, as well as the actual gear in use. Eventually.
