Manhunt in North-West Greenville

[AndersonMBK]

It's 1:00pm and the Greenville County Sherrifs Office has a perimeter set up around the intersection of 253 and 25. They are searching for an armed man that was involved in an armed robbery from my understanding. I am curious as to why they are not using their helicopter. They are using the NW sherrif office's frequency.

for those of us out of area/ is this channel on the palm 800 or a conventional freq?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, arc396 has me spoiled, but I believe the Greenville NW sherrifs office is conventional on 460.2875. At 1:30 they dispatched the helo, they're still searching at 1:45.

The Greenville County Sheriff NW channel is 460.5250. The 460.2875 is the old SWAT/Helo frequency which I haven't heard active in a while. The following is the list of Greenville County Sheriff frequencies.

460.1250 Traffic
460.5000 Northeast, East & South
460.5250 Northwest & West
460.5500 Car to Car
460.2875 SWAT/Helo
460.2500 Regional Law Enforcement

460.2875 was being used today for the search, I believe this was the main channel, but I can't say for sure as most of the time I had that channel on "hold".

The suspect shot a man who witnessed the robbery. The man followed the suspect vehicle. When the suspect realized he was being followed he fired shots at the vehicle, wounding the witness in the neck and wrist. The witness is expected to recover but was in surgery most of the afternoon.

The search was called off after 4:15, but the suspect was caught after been shot by officers not long afterwards.

Are they still using 464 DPL on that frequency?

When I am mobile in columbia I can usually pick them up from somewhere around Harbison area north on I-26.

Most definitely, I logged them during the standoff today.

Speaking of the GCSO, can anyone add to this list:

Saber 1-helicopter
Kilo units-K9
STAR 922-SWAT Truck?

From Jdb in another post:"traffic (400 series units), records, warrants (500 series units), forensics (900 series units)"

Can anyone explain the uniformed division callsigns used or add other callsigns used?

 

[firefighter89]

Does anyone know the codes used by GCSO? I have the 10 Codes but I need the other codes such as Code 5.

 

[Dolidis]

Code 1: Gone on arrival
Code 2: Unfound
Code 3: Handled by officer
Code 4: ???
Code 5: Report written

Don't have all the answers, but here is what I've figured out between the time I posted that other message and now...

The uniform patrol callsigns go by their platoon names (Adam, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo.) There’s a number after the letter (the numbers go from 1 to at least 44), although how they decide who has what number I do not know. It doesn’t seem to be related to the area that the officer is assigned. The low numbers for each platoon represent higher ranking personnel.

I heard a unit 210 call out once. That’s the only 200 series callsign I’ve come across.
The 300 series callsigns are for communications staff.
I’ve heard several investigators use callsigns in the 600s, don’t hear it much though.
The DPU (pretty sure this is vice/narcotics) has callsigns in the high 400s (484, 487 for example.) Their supervisor is 403.
The two traffic supervisors are 405 and 407. The regular traffic unit callsigns go from 411 to 424. I am not sure what any of the other callsigns that are in the 400s signify.
There are also a couple of units that sign on just as "car" and then number. For example, car 5 can be heard on the radio many mornings coming on duty. No clue what their function is though.

Code 8 seems to indicate that the incident was passed off to or handled by another agency.

 

[Dolidis]

That's Code 9. ^

 

[jdb]

That's Code 9. ^

ok. thanks. then what does code 8 mean?

Sorry, no idea.
