So I have recently rediscovered the Metro Police. I remember seeing them on episodes of Cops when they would ride with Boston Police back in the day.
I was curious if any of the old timers on here had any radio info about this outfit. From what I have gathered they were on low band until switching to 800 in the mid 80's and then onto an 800 trunked system shortly after that. I have read that they had a repeater with some serious snoot on 39.580.
Anyway, I'm looking for any info or stories on MetroPolice. Pics of equipment, video or recordings of radio traffic would be cool too.
What radio equipment did they use?
What type of 800 tunked system did they move to and where did that go when they were merged with MSP?
I found a website with some info but not much radio stuff. M.D.C. Police Photos - Introduction
I know, I'm a dork...
Thanks.
