MARCS-IP ("New MARCS") Site and Talkgroup Discussion

[N8MWY]

Those were the days! I remember getting Houston, Texas and Orange County, California FD's on our local VHF-Low band fire frequencies here in Stark County, Ohio when conditions were right. I understand the California Highway Patrol is still on 42 mHz, one of my projects is to get a Low Band antenna back up and scan all the police and fire frequencies. MARCS is nice but Low Band had its charm.

Why is 13586 North Olmsted PD4 Law Talk listed in the Cuyahoga County Fire/EMS/Hospital Talkgroups?

This is the new T/G for Mantua and Garrettsville PD's.

Yes. Mantua PD (aka: 1000).

40555 is "67LAW" on MARCS. Aurora, Streetsboro, Ravenna, Kent, & PCSO all have their own talkgroups. The rest of the smaller PDs in Portage will use the 67LAW.

The only PDs not accounted for yet are/were Mantua, Garrettsville, Brady Lake and Hiram PDs. Are they all using 40555? Or just Mantua / Garrettsville at this time? Was "67LAW" used as a description on the air and/or is this from somebody inside ?

If you guys are confident about this, please submit it to the database.

Thanks

Is Brady Lake PD still in existence since the village was dissolved ?
Does Hiram use MARCS ?

If the only two using 67Law TG, seems like it should be identified in RR with Mantua/ Garrettsville in addition to 67Law.

I changed the description. It can be changed again if you guys suddenly determine that Hiram and or BL are on there. Of course (just my personal thought), 67LAW is a bad description for that alpha tag (even though it might be in radios) if it's just being used by Mantua / Garrettsville. But, we [admins] are told to use what's in the radios. So 67LAW it is for the alpha tag.

"67LAW" is the name for the Talkgroup in our radios. Mantua dispatches for Mantua & Garrettsville PD. Hiram PD is not on MARCS (Yet).

Brady Lake Village dissolved in 2017 and is now again part of Franklin Twp, covered by Kent FD and PCSO.

 

[mtindor]

Thank you, Bill. It is listed in the DB as 67LAW with a description of Mantua / Garrettsville Police Dispatch

Brady Lake Village dissolved in 2017 and is now again part of Franklin Twp, covered by Kent FD and PCSO.

Once the Village dissolved, their statutory authority under the Ohio Revised Code to have their own police department and other municipal services would have ended, so the PD would have gone with the village.

As true as that may be, that particular PD is/was apparently quite controversial in that they continued to operate for some time (supposedly) after dissolution. Lots on Google and Youtube related to Brady Lake PD. Apparently they were a fine bunch of cops (sarcasm)

Hmmmm. . . anyone who was ticketed and/or arrested by the former Brady Lake PD after the date of dissolution could challenge the legality of their ticket/arrest. It would be interesting to see the court records on those arrests.
