Good information, and makes sense. Does your "source" know if District-Chicago's current Car-2-car channel will be the primary Troop 3 car-2-car, or will they repurpose District 2 & 5's car-to car?

Another question on Troop 3..which expressways will be on the new channels? Are they named Troop 3-North or 3-North, or 3-N for example?

So, like now, District 11 dispatches D18 on the D18 talkgroup. District 11 has 3 dispatch talkgroups that they use regularly, along with the Detail talkgroups. Will ALL areas of Troop be on the Primary talkgroup?

None of the information that was sent to me mentioned the C2C stuff at all, my guess is because Troop 3 is being divided even further, they won't have a need for them.

The info didn't include the exact TG names, only the general information of the new areas. Each Troop 3 group has a color association as well, North (Yellow), Middle (Blue), South (Red), and Southwest (Green). There is a bit of info on what colors cover what areas, but it's too much to fit into this post, I'm a few hours southwest of Chicago, and I don't know enough about the Chicago area to decipher it

Well I'm in the city, so feel free to post it here, or send me a private message, I'm interested.

All current TalkGroups will remain in place, and will be renamed (see new config below). Each troop will use the current "A" TalkGroups from each current District as either Primary or Secondary. The lower of the 2 will act as the new "Primary", the higher of the two will act as the new "Secondary". Not all troops will use the Secondary talkgroups 24/7, however I would assume during high loads they will.

Examples:
Troop 1:
  • Primary (Current District 1A)
  • Secondary (Current District 16A)
Troop 2:
  • Primary (Current 7A)
  • Secondary (Current 17A)

Exceptions:
Troop 7 (Current D10) won't have a secondary TG. Until configurations are completed, current "B" TalkGroups will be utilized.

Troop 3:
  • North: D2-A
  • Middle: DC-C
  • South: DC-D
  • Southwest: D5-A
  • Admin/Other: DC-A

EDIT: I replied in a post below, this came directly from a contact, who was notified of the change by the state.

I've been busy: :LOL:


Troop 3-North-9002
Troop 3-Middle-9007
Troop 3-South-9008
Troop 3-Southwest-9013
Troop 3-Admin-9005


Troop 1-Primary-9000
Troop 1-Secondary-9017


Troop 2-Primary-9015
Troop 2-Secondary-9019


Troop 7-Primary-13007

It'll be interesting to hear what radio signatures they'll be given.
I wonder if they'll continue with the first number representing the troop #, and the last few as the unit ID. This system could still work, but each troop would have quite a few numbers attached.

Appreciate the info on the talkgroup usage. So am I correct in assuming that the North talkgroup will be used for the rural areas of District 2 as well (Boone, Mc Henry, Kane, etc counties)?

From the map, that would be Troop 3 so it would be a good guess.

So whats gonna be used for non-highways, such as Boone, DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, Grundy? Or is ISP still not gonna patrol them?

County Sheriff Dept will have to assist in helping ISP out. They will have some troopers for calls of service but they could be over an hour away or longer to respond to calls. ISP will be mainly focused now in interdiction teams in and around Chicago.

The patrol assignments that I read didn't mention any non-highway patrols, I'd guess whatever is the procedure now would stay in place.

That's true, much focus has been on the interstates in and around the Chicago Metro area for quite some time now. With the new Troops (Troop 3), the personnel can be easily shifted around based on different enforcement tactics instead of requesting support from outside Troops. 32 probationary troopers were just added, around March, they'll be on solo patrol.
