City of Cary

[BCasto]

Yesterday the Cary Police responded to a bank robbery in progress call that became a 3 hour hostage negotiation that ended with the tragic death of the robber. It is rare indeed to listen and watch such an event. I believe the Police performed extremely well.

Much of the traffic on the Cary Trunked system was on the talk group 4528, which I believe I heard them describe as channel 16 or mutual aid 16. Can anyone confirm this and add any other scanning information gathered?

Thanks.

It is Cary's ERT (Emergency Response Team) Talkgroup and
is labeled as such in their radios.
The reason you may have heard it referred to as "CH 16" is because that is the channel slot it is assigned to
in the radio on the radio concentric knob.
I will go ahead and add it to the database.
