Hello,
This is my first post here. I thought I would add some Coos county frequencies as I never did find any of them on line (there were plenty of frequencies but no mention of who exactly was on them, the 12 codes used down here, etc). In addition to what I'm posting, I am always on the lookout for additional police and fire frequencies, codes and information. If you have any additional information, please post it.
Coos county is largely rural. The radio systems are antiquated by modern standards, no 800mhz or trunking going on anywhere down here. No MDT's/MDC's either. But what they have gets the job done. Easy to monitor, too.
Any questions I can try to answer about our area, just drop me a line.
Coos County Sheriff
LAW 1: 155.880 - Old main dispatch freq, still has some occasional use
LAW 2: 155.790 - Main dispatch freq. The county also dispatches Bandon PD, Myrtle Point PD, and Powers PD. See unit number list below.
Bandon PD
Bandon PD TAC: 154.980 - Car to car
Oregon State Police
154.860: OSP county wide. I have also heard southern Douglas county calls dispatched on this freq.
Coos County Fire
156.105 - Tap out, dispatch for all fire departments in the county (including Coos Bay/North Bend). Each FD has their own freqs for operations, but much of the time the rural FDs just stay on the dispatch freq throughout the incident.
Bay Cities Ambulance
155.220 - The only ambulance service in the county. Dispatch frequency.
I am not able to hear Coos Bay, North Bend or Coquille from where I live. I would eventually like to get those frequencies though, if anyone has them I would apperciate a post here.
PD/SO Unit Number List
