I think Mason County 911 has too much time on their hands...

Following a list of what appear to be legit frequencies for PD, Fire, and EMS, the following list of "additional" frequencies appears on the 911 center's web site:

Point PD Ch. 18 463.0250
Mason SO TAC-1 467.8500
Mason SO TAC-3 468.9000
Mason SO TAC-4 468.9250
Mason SO TAC-5 463.5750
Mason SO TAC-6 463.6250
Mason SO Black Ops 469.2550​

Black Ops? Oh, my...

Looking at the frequencies (none of which are public safety, and one of which appears to be made up [it's not an assignable frequency]), I'd say the 911 center is having some fun with snoopy scanner listeners. I doubt Mason County SO needs 6 tac channels, much less a "Black Ops" channel. And Pt. Pleasant's "Channel 18" is a MED channel. I thought Charleston PD was the only department that did that...

Black Ops

Hey Ritchie County has 3 Tac channels.....LMAO

Tac channels honestly are nothing more than car to car channels..And most officers/deputies just use them for BS chit chat. If it was serious, like felony warrant service most is done via cell phone calls to dispatch. Most rural counties such as these rarely have enough staffing levels and incidents to produce
action packed listening anyway. Last count in November 08 the Mason Sheriff's Dept. had 15 members,
Probably has three shift per day, 3 to 4 Deputies per shift.

Under the UHF Interop plan most departments will have a private channel, Ptac 1, Ptac 2 or the like.
The Fire deparments in WV each have one as they come on line. Its possible the dispatchers are just screwing with people but unlikely. But what the heck program them into your scanner, It is possible a
pursuit, homicide or armed robbery could occur in Point Pleasant or throughout the county.

But as far as Black Ops go....The only ones I would vision occuring in Mason county is when the sun goes down and the sky is black (AKA late afternoon shift and midnight shift)...LOL

I am a emt/ff in mason county and those freqs were only used for a short while, the radio programmer put those is for BS reasons, we have 3 law freqs in the county for 6 depts to use. (state police, sher dept, point pleasant pd, henderson pd, mason pd, new haven pd, hartford pd.) However since the Sheriff Dept put in the Inversion Scramblers in to there mobiles those other channels dont get used other than "Black Op's" which only about 3 cops use.

all so if you are around here on the week they have the mason county fair listen to tac 2 for the sher dept and you can hear them at the fair. those are the only two channels they still use

 

[wv8mat]

and the 911 center had no control on those being used, they just posted them

Sounds like the county radio service contract to the local motorola dealership paid for the technician to screw around for a couple of extra hours to program some useless channels in the PD's radios...
