i think its brookside pd they rotate a lot lol
County Commissioners approved money today for P25 radio system (only) for the county. Radios themselves to be bought later. No timeline yet as to when it will go online but as you see from post last year it took over a year since they built new towers to decide to buy into the system they built the towers for. So it may be another year or more before they allocate the money to pay for the individual radios just for county agencies. Cities might get radios sooner but will have to wait and see.

Everyone is on board for it. Marshall County Sheriffs, 911, Marshall EMS. It’s going to happen. Hopefully a grant will cover the radios for us.
I hope. Article in Arab paper though makes it appear that there may be a power struggle over who controls the system. Aram Mayor says that local cities, schools, hospital, medical crews must form a committee to oversee it. Local legislature rep says that his understanding of state law is that 911 board would be overseeing it and that all agencies would pay a rental fee to 911 to use the P25 system. So waiting to see if mud or worse starts getting slung over it. His timeline also stated up running by Spring.

Surprised no one on here picked up on this:

Marshall County 911 district signs contract for P25 public safety radio system
The new radio system will ensure every public safety agency in Marshall County will be able to communicate quickly and easily with each other.

Posted on different thread since only 2 of 3 towers are built and just last month did county, cities and other entities decide to go definitely to the P25 system.Surprised no one on here picked up on this:

Was waiting for word that actual radios were being installed before posting on this thread.
Yesterday, I heard Center Point being dispatched two different times to a fire alarm on 1411. I know they're usually on 685. Could Jefferson County 911 have been on the wrong channel? I searched the forum and found another thread where someone thought 1411 was Mount Olive, but I don't think that's right. Theirs is 1679. I attached the audio.
Any ideas?

Dave..... Hello there!! Thanks for sending the audio. I have not heard that person's voice before. If that was a new person, they might have keyed the wrong department on the screen. Did you hear the trucks respond on the same talkgroup?
Usually, Center Point Fire has one dispatcher assigned to that department. That person will not work other FD's unless something unusual is going on. It is common during day shift for each dispatch position to simulcast-fire departments for Dispatch to Apparatus traffic. Calls and admin traffic. Still, the dispatcher will only hear a unit on that department's talkgroup. This means a dispatcher may have two departments key up at the same time. That results in dispatcher asking one of them to stand by. If both FD's are working an incident at the same time...another dispatcher will take one of them for better support of units on scene.
I prefer the way Shelby County handles FD channels. Departments of a given area are on one channel with FD Tac channels available for fire-ground or other incident command needs.

Thanks Julian! I wondered how JC911 handled dispatching all those fire agencies.
I talked to a buddy... it was Leeds Fire on 1852

Thanks for the research. 👍🏻🇺🇸
I'm hearing Tlk Grp 2633 on the Jefferson County Simulcast site. Anyone know who it might be ? It sounds like drug surveillance.
That's the Hoover / JCSO ICE (Interstate Criminal Enforcement) units talk channel. They look for drug traffickers coming through.
