Monitoring opportunities for protests in Raleigh?

[longbch]

Hi,

I may be a little late to monitor the happenings going on in downtown Raleigh during the protests, but it seems like the protests continue each week.

Has anybody heard any traffic from the police or NC State Capitol Police during these events? If so, where did you hear it?

I'm living in one of the small towns south or Raleigh these days and don't do too much listening to the Raleigh PD anymore, but I'm still in Wake County, so it's easily heard.

Thanks,
Kelly

Most traffic has been on VIPER.

ive been listening to the poor rangers at a local state park that just re-opened whose primary duties have morphed from normal ranger stuff to attempting to enforce social distancing.

I've been listening for that and other 'protest' and 'event' activity around the Capitol and Legislative areas. I've discovered that the various departments 'interop' on one of the VIPER Event talk groups. It's often been Event Foxtrot 1 in the past couple months, but I suppose that could easily change.

It hasn't been super-busy - just reports of what the groups are doing/moving, and some logistics, like positioning officers. As is often the case, you're not exactly getting a play-by-play.

Go for it. That joke has been in my repertory for probably 50 years. I'm sure I stole if from someone, I'm not that clever.
