Now that "A&E" has the series about the Essex / Union Auto Theft Fask Force, does anyone got the freeqs they use?
Essex County Prosecutor has been using that frequency for as long as I can remember so it's never been a big secret. If there is now a TV Show based on their activities I wonder if that will soon change??
Anyway you can also check the Database on this site for more info for Essex County agencies....

Any chance of picking them up in Bergen County?
I just want to confirm that 471.3625 is the Task Force frequency for Essex County ONLY??? That's what I have in my records, but the thread is titled Essex and UNION?? I'm confused, does Union County use this frequency also or just Essex County? It was my understanding that Union County's Task Force uses the countywide TRUNKED system. I just wanted to verify that my understanding is correct.
They use Essex County Prosecutor's conventional freqs as stated in Post #2 and #11.I too, was wondering HOW (what type) they would use their radio systems, as the two Counties Essex & UNION have at least two different types radio systems, (EDACS) and MOT 800, as well as conventional freeqs.
If you listen long enough to the Newark PD system, you would hear them call for Auto Theft units. Newark PD has their own ATTF squad to work solely within its boundaries. They are the 700 units and 780 is the boss.I listen to N.P.D. CRYSTAL CLEAR in Linden NJ- I have had the frequencies given loaded previously (per RR) and have never heard them...I have heard Alerts about reckless driving by stolens, (by N.P.D.) but no ATTF chatter...
As previously said in Post #6, there are 12-24 of them on any night. So they don't have to depend on backup from other agencies. If they have to contact another agency I believe they would use SPEN1.Don't they need real time comms with the local PD's to let them know "what's up" with their ops as they materialize ?...
They do use Nextells for local ops, as well as pretty much any other agency. But all comms with dispatch go through the radio.Please don't let it be NEX HELL although that would probably be their best bet as they could maintain local comms on dash mount radio units, while maintaining "discreet" comms amongst the unit members only.
Not really sure what you're asking here...if Rome means Newark than No, the E/U ATTF does not use Newarks 400mhz system althought the E/U ATTF headquarters is in Essex county.But I also realize that the ATTF is based in Essex (natch) and "when in Rome"....(use the Roman antiquated 400 mhz system...
