(5) A Police licensee may use transmitters on the frequencies
indicated below in connection with official police activities without
specific authorization from the Commission, provided that such use shall
be on a secondary basis and shall not cause harmful interference to
services of other licensees operating on regularly assigned frequencies,
and further provided that all such use complies with the requirements of
Federal, State and local laws. The provisions of Sec. 90.429 shall not
apply to transmitters authorized under this paragraph. To be eligible
for operations in this manner, the transmitter must comply with all of
the following requirements.
(i) In accordance with Sec. 90.203 and Sec. 2.803 of this chapter,
the transmitter must be of a type which has been certificated by the
Commission.
(ii) The carrier frequency shall be within the bands listed below
and must be maintained within 0.005 percent of the frequency of
operation. Use on assigned channel center frequencies is not required.

Seriously. That's probably the fourth time it's been posted. And it still is not the answer to the question.
To those who claim (in this very thread) that police can transmit on ANY frequency, please post the regulations which say that...
PLEASE don't repost the same thing that now mancow has put up. We've seen it. Clearly it does not say they can transmit on ANY frequency.

No, it doesn't.
It says what it says. The answers are in the text. There's nothing to argue about.

Yeah, imagine if I got W8GOD and then started smiting everyone I saw
mancow said:
Not arguing, but there are people who say that police units can use any frequency at all. And then someone posts this very same part of the regulations, which clearly states they can't. Then someone else says "show me the proof that police can transmit on any frequency", then someone posts this very same part of the regulations, then...

Really?
Hi all, I don't want to sound indifferent but I guess on this I sort of am. Really who cares. I have lived and traveled all around the country, being a ham and scanner hobbyist for over 35 years I can say I have heard the "police" all over the place.
Are they suppose to use these frequencies, clearly no, but then again they aren't used much for anything else.
If you or I were on the department we would probably use them too. I know tons of hams that "modify" every radio they own and transmit where they aren't "suppose" to.
No it doesn't make it right, but we need to choose our battles wisely.
I spent over a year and a half in Mississippi and New Orleans as a FEMA volunteer during Katrina and the storms before Katrina( 6 months in Florida before Katrina) and we were glad to have anything that transmitted.
I have heard the police on 2 meters before and on 440 in the amateur portion and lots of other places, as well as some unidentified "folks" in areas I know they aren't "suppose" to be transmitting in. Again, I have to say at first it bothered me, but then I thought, who cares does it really matter.
If you ever go to south Florida and listen you will hear that the police, fire and rescue all use amatuer "Q" signals on all transmission. The first time I heard them all saying "qsl" instead of 10-4 I was upset because I thought hey those are our signals not yours.
But later I was amused at it and grew to like it.
People tend to be so territorial and I'll admit me too at times.
I monitor hundreds, maybe thousands of frequencies. I hear amateurs every day violate just about every rule in the book, but again, who cares.
What bothers me more is the fact that amateur radio has tons of frequencies that sit unused. Repeaters around our state have gone out of service by the handsful and thats just repeaters on 2 mtr and 440. Not to mention all the other spectrum we have and don't use. We have all that, and it's just sitting most of the time not used. So really does it matter if a few cops talk on the 156.... marine frequencies to break up the monotony of the job, I think not. Were no where near water!
I don't take offense as I may have at one time, yea I had to get a license. I have a Extra class...took all the tests and passed morse code at 20wpm, and never used it, who cares.
In the grand scheme of things I believe it's a trivial item to discuss.
Just like most cops don't wear seat belts, most of them drive what ever speed they want to
I guess they can talk on those frequencies too, I won't lose any sleep over it, will you?
Really will you? Think about it! No one uses the marine freqs here anyway, very little to no traffic on them.
Besides like was previously said, it gives us something to listen to, lol.

I guess im not drinking enough to understand.
Mayor Ballord being a retired Marine get him to sit in on it!!! Ask him does he have a FCC license if not he might like to update his license. Tac radios save people it kinda makes you feel like someones close; especially when I'm on the clock I gotta have ears around corner I probabily would ever look at it when I'm off the clock and plus as and IMPD officer should allways have a tac radio. as a tax payer "issued" to them. So what if the community can communicate with the officer. the officer would'nt have a choise but to introduce him/her selves. Opportunity to communicate with an officer when your on the clock or on your radio would be nice..I understand some officer are unlicensed but it's a relief to the officer it's a problem that could be easly fixed:

Tim, it has been a long time since I have turned on any radio , but the last time I was on the 700 late at night there were some officers from Indy on there ,(with valid calls) can they not be of assistance in relaying to these guys they need to stay off those frequencies ?
maybe they know who it is ?? maybe they could explain the rules and tell them someone is willing to take it to higher authorities if it doesn't stop ?
I imagine Richard even knows these guys quite well, maybe he could drop them a "hint" ?
thanks for the info though , I will now be listening
