They switched off Troop E and VHF on July 1. VHF mobiles remain in vehicles as a back up, but dispatch is now on TG 18601, the TAC channel is 18602. They are operating off CLMRN portables, not mobiles at this time, there should be some BDAs and extenders coming online in the next year to expand coverage for the roughly 15%+ of the town with portable dead zones in the coverage.

Montville fire will be going to the new system soon as well.
As the person who has done all the testing for Montville Fire to transition to CLMRN and who has been spearheading the transition, I can tell you that you are not likely to hear any units operating natively from Montville Fire on the CLMRN within the next six months at the earliest. There is the potential you may hear VHF simulcast on CLMRN prior to that, but no units actually transmitting on the system.
We are eager to transition, but it is a process with many factors in play.

Portables are handed off shift to shift for the patrol officers.

Watch the RIDs on CLMRN. NFD, EGPFD and LHFD seem to have most on the system but others are not showing up with individual CLMRN IDs but rather are showing up with 1049000. This usually indicates they are coming through on the patch.
