Here’s your Answer And Facts read it lol


There is lots of radios in NY City


There is still stuff to beat on it

NY City has the worst radio system in the world..

First off, open mics have nothing to do with the quality of a radio system. Open mics are operator error.

And when you say NYC, what are you referring to? There are thousands of systems within NYC. That’s a bold statement.

9/11 was a different animal. And FDNY is operating on a 100% different system than they were on 9/11. No radio system in the world could prepare for that event.

NYPD’s system is very robust, providing portable on hip coverage within the 5 boro’s at 2 watts per portable, also navigating within the concrete canyons of skyscrapers. Every channel has at least 1 primary, and 1 backup transmitter and multiple receive sites.

I’d challenge you to mention a system that rivals the size and challenges of NYPD’s and compare.

Encryption Update: FDNY EMS Denied NYPD Radios

Pretty funny since FDNY brass has forbidden EMS from signing out NYPD radios for over 10 years. Doesn’t matter now because radios are assigned and personally issued.

its not about the actual NYPD radios. Its about the ability for EMS to communicate with the NYPD, on EMS radios, in important EMS situations, such as 10-13s, which happen on a regular basis.

EMS has not been allowed on division radios for over a decade. That was FDNY brass who didn’t allow it. FDNY EMS personnel may have monitored a division, which they may not be able to now. The article is misleading.
EMS gets the same info as PD units when responding to 10-13’s. In 25 years I never once not once have I heard EMS talk on a division while a 13 was happening.

I regularly hear EMS dispatcher to Central calling in 10-13s, when EMS personnel are being attacked. This is not about responding to 10-13s. It is about when EMS personnel are being attacked and are calling in a 10-13. And it's also about EMS personnel coming into an unsafe condition

That should be going through EMS dispatch not breaking onto a precinct directly.

Then it’s on their own radio. EMS has been forbidden to use division radio for over a decade. Not all info comes over the radio. As soon as a job is flagged for dual response or more the FDNY and EMS dispatchers see all the call taker info in real time.

The 10-13s from EMS are not going over division radio, They are going over NYPD citywide. The obvious problem here is that EMS personnel are no longer able to monitor NYPD division radio for their own safety when responding to EMS calls. That's the issue.

The 10-13 call should still go to EMS dispatch first then broadcast over PD citywide by CW dispatch. If you're talking about NYPD citywide, it is stated they will not encrypt CW 1-3.

As stated, The issue that EMS is concerned about is that EMS responding personnel can no longer monitor NYPD division frequencies for their own safety when responding to calls, based on their own safety issues....That's what the article is all about.

I monitor my local precinct, FD, and EMS often, and information about a job is quickly and readily passed along to the different departments, both ways, including questions about sensitive location and weapons.

If you still monitor your local precinct regularly, You must live in either Manhattan or Queens because those are the only two boroughs that are not encrypted, at this point. That should end shortly. I will not pass judgment on the requests from EMS personnel to be able to monitor NYPD division frequencies, for the sake of EMS personnel safety, when responding to potential dangerous situations. I agree with EMS. They should be able to monitor encrypted NYPD division frequencies, for their own safety. They have earned my 100% respect in the most difficult job that they do every day saving New Yorkers lives and sometimes putting their own lives in danger. This is just one of many bad moves the NYPD has done recently on the encryption front, in my opinion.
