Is there something like the WEMLAC freq. in Worcester county?

[Squelchtone]

When I lived in Western Mass, I listened to "WEMLAC" all the time, and it was a great source of news and information when towns needed to give each other heads up about a high speed chase, bank robbery, or something happening on their town lines.

Now that I live in the Worcester area I was hoping to listen to the equivalent thing out here, but cannot find a CEMLEC frequency listed anywhere.

How does Framingham talk to Southbrough, as an example, when there is something going on in their towns?

Thanks

Yes, they use the channel "LPS7" on the CoMIRS trunk.

You specifically mentioned Framingham. LPS7 is mostly Worcester County. Framingham is further east and probably uses BAPERN instead.

LPS7 is used frequently in worcester county for police type things. District 7&8 fire channels for fire type things.

To answer the question directly, at least in North Worcester County, No. Rarely does North County use LPS7, some south county towns use it a lot.
