I am in the north Dallas area this week and am listening to Carrollton PD/FD online feed.
It appears to be scanning several TAC talk groups used by detectives. I heard one detective tell another that he was testing the 'scanner app' to see if their surveillance was able to be monitored. A few minutes later he instructed all units on "OPS 2" to switch to "Metro SRT" becuase it wasn't able to be monitored online. I then no longer heard any type of surveilance activity after this, just regular patrol stuff.
It sounded like they were about to start some sort of burglary suppression detail in a certain neighborhood looking for a certain group of suspects. Its possible their suspects were known to use the online scanner app.
Does anyone know is "Metro SRT" an unknown talk group on the Carrollton TRS or is this on another TRS?
Also this tends to show LE is now avoiding being broadcast online. I am willing to bet when Carrollton goes digital sometime in the future they will be encrypted.
