I am guessing the county is on a trs while town conventional?

It won't be long before they wanna disband their police force to save. Seems these people in many small town offices want higher pay and benifits at the cost of the public safety.

Boonton Twp Fire and Boonton-Kiwanis Ambulance are dispatched by the County, but in Town of Boonton it won’t work ?

Speaking of Boonton, can someone confirm 463.825 as I’m no longer hearing the repeater for Fire.

is Boonton PD now on the Morris County TRS? if so, which channel?

 

[APX8000]

I would imagine Mun Police 6 and for FD, Fire Response 2. EMS is already on EMS Response 2.

Boonton Township (42 series cars... ) anyone know what series Boonton town ?

 

[APX8000]

They should be 41 cars based upon their municipal ID.

The county has not started to dispatch them on the TRS or their legacy system. The town board just approved the resolution on Monday 10/22/19.

Is Fire using low band ? I haven’t heard anything on the 463.825 repeater.

Often when dispatch centers merge the out-of-work dispatchers are absorbed into the new center.
