Miami County Question

[jackcf]

I was adding Miami County to my BCD436HP and I noticed that it had mostly Fire and EMS talk groups and no LAW talk groups to speak of.
That doesn't seem right and I can't figure out what I may have done wrong to not get any LAW talk groups.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Most of the law enforcement talkgroups for Miami County are encrypted, which no scanner can receive. DE is full time encryption and De is partial encryption.

34004	84d4	DE	55PPD MEET	Piqua Police Meet	Law Tac
34008	84d8	DE	55TPD MEET	Troy Police Meet	Law Tac
34017	84e1	DE	55TCP-CMND	Tipp City PD Command	Law Tac
34020	84e4	D	55JAIL-OPS	Miami County Jail Ops	Corrections
34021	84e5	DE	55SO-MEET	Miami County Sheriff Meet	Law Tac
34026	84ea	D	55LE-1	Law Enforcement Dispatch / Ops 1	Law Dispatch
34027	84eb	DE	55LE-2	Law Enforcement Dispatch / Ops 2	Law Dispatch
34031	84ef	D	55LE-TAC4	Law Enforcement Tac 4	Law Tac
34032	84f0	De	55COVPD MEET	Covington Police Meet	Law Tac

Thanks that's good to know but what I was referring to are the names of the talk groups whether they are encrypted or not.
For example. There's a Miami County Sheriff Meet but no Miami County Sheriff Dispatch. It seems Miami County has a lot of these Meet talk groups and I have no idea what those are. This more of a curiosity thing than a practical thing.

"Meet" can be for tactical use, or general chit-chat.

The talkgroup descriptions clearly indicate which is the dispatch talkgroup, and the mode column indicates which talkgroups are encrypted (DE is encrypted, and D is clear). The alias names shown are the actual names as used by Miami County.

If you would like to change the alias names in your scanner to suit your personal preference you're welcome to do so, but policy on RadioReference is to use the actual talkgroup names wherever possible.

LE-1 is general law enforcement dispatch for all law enforcement in the county (Miami County Sheriff, Piqua PD, Troy PD, Tipp City PD, West Milton PD and Covington PD). The "Meet" talkgroups (fire, ems or law enforcement) is used by the agencies for mostly general car-to-car traffic.
