Is there a list somewhere on the site? I see that the LWIN info has D1-D10 as dispatch channels, but I don't see a list that shows what is what. I know that D10 is a talk around channel, or that's what it was used for this morning. Does the Dispatch channel number indicate the District?
I'm mostly interested in the Warehouse and French Quarter areas, but have the entire system programmed in.
Also, what does "Code 4" mean for EMS?
Thanks.
It means, more or less, that everything is under control, we're OK, no need for any additional units, and so on.
As for NOPD talkgroups, just look them up here in the RR database, NOPD has something like 49 talkgroups, only one encrypted, and they are all clearly marked. New Orleans is, after all, a very small city as far as territory is concerned, you can drive across it in 20 minutes or so, late at night.
The talk groups are labeled Dispatch 1, Dispatch 2, Dispatch 3, but I'm not sure if those correlate to the districts. The DB here is not clear on that.
From the context of the EMS traffic that's not what Code 4 means as they are told they do or don't have a Code 4 and sometimes are given a talk group assignment.
EMS will not enter a shooting/violent crime scene until the scene is "Code 4." (situation under control).Also, what does "Code 4" mean for EMS?
I worked in both metro NOLA EMS and the NOPD for quite a few years, and I told you what I know from my experience. I have no reason or need to lie. As for the District TGs, sometimes they have problems, and in that case, they usually link the 1st and 8th Districts, 2nd and 6th, 3rd and 7th, and the 4th and 5th. Like I said earlier, New Orleans is a pretty small city and that's the way they roll. Before trunking, in the old UHF days, we only had 12 channels for all of NOPD, and EMS was part of the NOPD as a specizlized unit.
Hope this helps.
At present, New Orleans has eight police districts. The 8th District (French Quarter) is New Orleans' smallest police district, but it gets most of the attention, due to its high profile. The 7th District (New Orleans East) is, geographically speaking, the largest, The 4th District is on the West Bank of the Mississippi River. The 5th District is in the Lower Ninth Ward, the infamous "Bloody Sixth" is in the warehouse district. The Fifth District's night watch used to be the 'disciplinary district' for problem children, that's where you were sent if you offended the administration or wanted combat <g>. The Sad 2nd is uptown and houses Tulane and Loyola universities, so those guys have to contend with a plethora of wealthy,drunk, smartass yankee punks (Jerry Springer is a Tulane product). The 3rd District is out along Lake Pontchartrain where some of the City's more affluent residents are domiciled; the old money is stashed Uptown, mostly along St. Charles Avenue. Understand that incredibly wealthy people are living just blocks away from 'housing projects' containing some of the City's most violent criminal predators.
A compass for driving around is useless, the City is divided along Canal Street into North and South streets, etc., and those aren't really correct as far as compass headings indicate. And remember, the New Orleans metro area has a large group of law enforcement entities, including the Orleans Sheriff, the Orleans Levee District (a State agency, like the Harbor Police), the Causeway Police, the Bridge Police, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, the Gretna and Westwego and Kenner Police Departments, and various University police agencies, as well as the Louisiana State Police, Wildlife & Fisheries, Alcohol & Beverage Control, and of course the various Federal entities.
Enjoy!

New site #152 with CC 774.3937. Active Terrebonne area traffic. Passed by the area the other day and did not notice any new tower or construction in the area of 6745 Bayou Black DR, Gibson. They must have decided to place it somewhere else or on an existing tower in that area. However it appears this is the new site for the Gibson area.
