According to this link http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=TRSDB&sid=933 , the system is the IN SAFE-T system. You need to program the Crawfordsville freqs and Talkgroups (ID's).

Freqs with Alpha tags as follows:
859.4875 Crawfordsville
866.4875 Crawfordsville
866.8875 Crawfordsville
867.4125 Crawfordsville
867.9375 Crawfordsville
868.4625 Crawfordsville
868.7625 Crawfordsville
868.9875 Crawfordsville

Talkgroups with Alpha Tags as follows:
12992 S-T Police Admin
13008 S-T PD Car 2 Car
13024 S-T PD Dispatch
13040 S-T PD Detective
13056 S-T PD SpResTeam
13072 S-T FireDispatch
13088 S-T FireTactical
13104 S-T EMS Dispatch

The Cheat Sheet I provided in my previous provides step by step procedures for making the above entries.

If set up correctly, and scanning in ID SCAN Mode, your scanner will display Crawfordsville on line 4 and the talkgroup Alpha Tag on line 3. Line 2 will display the Control Channel freq and line 1 will be flashing the ID number associated with the Alpha Tag on line 4.

The S-T is to indicate you are scanning the Safe-T bank. You can modify Alpha Tags to suit your needs but maintain 16 characters or less.

The first part is for Motorola Type I or IIi Systems. Start over and skip to second section (Motorola Type II or EDACS Systems). At step 7 in this section press 1 which is for the Safe-T Motorola II 800 system.
