Hello Everyone,
I have been listening and have owned a few different scanners for about 14 years here locally in Sacramento.
I have noticed that Elk Grove PD ceases broadcast when a big incident occurs on one of their channels. About 2 days ago I heard a officer involved shots fired call on Elk Grove PD CH.2 and moments later I heard nothing more about it. I scanned all of Elk Grove PD's Tac. channels and of course CH.1 EGPD. But I heard nothing.
Tonight and heard another incident and they were very hesitant to give out the actually location and sent updates through messaging. This is fine but the once again the channel went quite and I never heard anything again. After it went silent (this was on EG PD Tac. 1) I went to scan all of the EG PD's and I heard FD come up on EG PD CH1 and asked if there was a channel that he could monitor the incident on. The dispatcher said no call in to dispatch. I was not sure if they did not want to give out that info in EG PD CH1 or if it was true that there was no channel to monitor. I believe FD was asking because they were on standby for this incident.
So my question is there another channel they move to when a major incident happens? Has anyone noticed this? How are they communicating or giving updates when this happens? It cannot be only though messaging because some of the officers were on foot and some snipers were placed around the house.
