Balt City Quick Response Team

[doctordave]

Anyone know what TG is utilized for the quick response team (SWAT)? Would imagine it is encrypted - but maybe not. Is TG 5168 "TAC-1" utilized for this purpose?

Also...anyone know which police district would have ops around Mercy Hospital in Balt? Northern or Central?

Thanks.

Dave

Sorry I can't help you with the first question. As to the second I'm pretty sure it's Northern.

From what I have seen they dispatch off of Citywide but work on the OCD talkgroups.

What's OCD stand for, and what TGs do they use.

Police around Mercy

Central (District #1) covers Mercy Hospital-
Northern goes as far south as North Ave I believe.

OCD is the Organized Crime Division. They use all those "B" channels that we all have been trying to figure out what exactly their designation on the radios are. In the file for Baltimore City they are listed as narcotics/surveilance and errantly Motorcycles and Crime Lab.(those units work off of Citywide primarily but may be heard on OCD) Regular District units may have "B" on their radios but they can not acces it. If they switch to "B" they go to "C" by default.


BTW, Mercy is in the Central on 112 post.
