    Posey County NexEdge System Discussion

    Lately I have monitored both fire dispatch on the old frequencies and they fall back. The tornado on Denzer Rd somehow effected communications even though the tornado was nowhere near the tower. Its nice to not hear those dying distorted page tones on dispatch on old analog frequencies

    Funny/Odd things heard on the scanner

    I recall a complaint of a UFO harassing someone several miles to the southwest of where I used to live.I grabbed my binoculars and stole a peek myself. Unfortunately either the offending aliens had a cloaking device or someone was seeing things because neither me nor the responding officers saw...

    Do police still have cbs?

    Not here. State units used to have 102 inch whips on their crusiers. Between the skip noise and aggravation from base stations it was pretty much deemed self defeating. Once they trunked,that was that.

    Happy Birthday Marines

    Before someone complains and claims this post is "off topic" they would be best advised to remember that if it wasn't for the sacrifices of Marines and all armed forces for the United States,this forum would not exist and would be prohibited by law of the land.

    Funny/Odd things heard on the scanner

    My buddy updated his CB handheld with a hair dryer frequencies which put him right into drive thru channels. So he was a terror for awhile messing with fast food customers who would pull up to order processed garbage. He really had it in for Burger King. He would belch loudly and tell customers...

    Funny/Odd things heard on the scanner

    Though the Ford Crown Victoria is out of production,it had its problems too,though it still was more reliable that the Tarass or the overpriced Explorer badged as Interceptor. Several years ago,a deputy was having issues with his commission and it stopped dead on him. So he radioed for a tow and...

    Funny/Odd things heard on the scanner

    Wal-mart used to put its scanners on display. However,I decided to reprogram every one of them with the manager frequencies and it took them 3 days to finally take down the display. Meanwhile,the auto center people got to to hear everything said on those portable radios. That really got the...

    Live PD show coming to Terre Haute

    I doubt Evansville will be featured anytime soon given the hostile situation between Chief Bolin and the rank and file.

    Encryption vs Community policing

    Another poster already asked that question and was answered. What is that supposed to accomplish? Scary how you worded it almost the same as they did. Standard issue answers are everywhere. Its almost as if bureacratic rhetoric is offered up by anyone who actually buys into the government has...

    Heavy rain and frequent lightning in Evansville

    The hydroplaning accidents are starting to pile up. No matter how new the tires on a vehicle are it only takes a extremely shallow pool of moving water to send that vehicle where the driver doesn't want to go . You can tell by watching your tachometer jump yet the vehicle seems bogged down

    Heavy rain and frequent lightning in Evansville

    These storms aren't considered severe but its a sure thing that both underpasses at Diamond Expressway and Virginia St. and Ray Becker are swimming pools by now. Just how many will try to cross is anyones guess.

    Oh by the way. Thank you moderators for correcting my mistake of posting in the wrong column initially. I have no explanation as to why I posted there when it should be here. But rather than delete it you put the post in the right column. Now if you would be so kind to sort out the old file...

    Encryption vs Community policing

    What is your point? It is about cooperation,not absolutes. The response I gave will be the standard reaction of the general public if given to same rude response I got from 1 officer. Of course you disregarded that entirely. If you are okay with absolute authority fine. There are plenty of...

    Encryption vs Community policing

    Sure thing guy. I recall earlier emergency management communications advising the public to duck and cover during a nuclear attack and to be sure to open all windows to equalize pressure during a tornado. As for the school incident,how much do you want to put on the table that the resulting...

    Encryption vs Community policing

    The people who speak for the entities you named only quote what they were told to. None of them ever knows how or why the system works. So they read a line or 2 from the company literature and assure anyone asking that it will be better than before. Although 1 officer had the audacity to...

    Encryption vs Community policing

    At every police sponsored event to encourage the general public to work with police it is always emphaszed that departments need the help of the public to help them keep the community safe from crime. I agree. Problem is,when the same departments are actively doing everything possible to end the...

    Spencer County Questions...

    I haven't heard anything from Spencer since I visited the former Sheriff there. Apparently after he retired they lost other personnel and were short on staff into mid summer.
