AZWIN and D.P.S. in Tucson

[cookmaster]

for the last 3 days now DPS District 8, has a patch up with Azwin on a dedicated Talk Group, more then 12 Trooper are using the Trunk system showing there Radio ID's on the AZWIN system,and the rest of the Troopers are still using the old U.H.F. radios at the moment they have been doing radio tests all day today on AZWIN and the old UHF radio, me thinks this is the beginning of the retirement of the Analog UHF here in Tucson area,with that said DPS likely got there funding to go 100% on AZWIN now!!

Which TG are they using?

I'd like to see if they're monitorable on any of the Phoenix area sites, such as South Mountain.

TGID 1006

TGID 1006

Since Tyrone mentioned that individual radio IDs are showing up, suggesting this is a live talk group and not merely a patch from UHF, I went ahead and updated the database here.

On a related note, see item 2(a) in the document at http://www.azdps.gov/sites/default/files/media/FY2019 DPS Strategic Plan.pdf

Sometimes I hear doubt as to whether DPS even intends to migrate routine patrol operations to AZWINS from the UHF system. This seems to make clear it absolutely is a goal of DPS. Obviously there is a lot more required to achieve that goal, but it is a goal.

The ADOT Enforcement and Compliance Division can be heard statewide off of any of the sites across the state. I believe that they only have one centralized dispatch center, with one dispatch channel, and one tac/car-to-car channel, to cover the entire state. I don't know if they still have their two VHF-High channels available as backup, or for use in the areas that the AZWIN system doesn't yet cover. (Does AZWIN have any sites that provide coverage of I-40 in Apache & Navajo counties?)

They're no longer a part of the Motor Vehicle Division. They're their own division, and have been for several years now.

I haven't yet heard Tucson District 8 DPS on South Mountain. They may not be carried on it, unless they're involved in a pursuit that gets close enough to the Phoenix metro area.
