I really dont know if there is Analog Trunk out there or if they can hit it on the Cape Zone 4 but they As in New Bedford Have low band
in thier cars Troop D is 42.5000 as dispatch and 42.4600 car to car which is active in the the city here. If you see A state vehicle with a 8 foot
ball mount whip there carry Lowband.
There maybe a special trunk for them out there but i cant get it on the mainland. Looking at the Chart there is Zone 6 and Zone 11
on the Cape too.

There should be lots of comms (many encrypted) and A-A military jets on UHF in the area starting today through Sunday while POTUS visits.
I found this. It has 4 towers on Marthas Vinyard and 1 on Nantucket

I would imagine they would using their 800 simplex channels and or the 800 non trunked repeater

853.9625 was used quite a bit during Bidens trip last year for MSP on Nantucket. The name of the Channel is MSP Direct. I also heard 853.9375 and that is listed as MSP RPT 1. Both have PLs of 141.3

I have been on the island when FLOTUS was on island and heard no Nantucket traffic on MSP Zone 4 which I monitor the cape and Troop D. I also heard nothing on MSP low band. I believe I have the 800 simplex channels in that bank but will need to double check that.
I am fairly certain that all state law enforcement agencies (MSP, MEP) operate on the encrypted NPD talk groups while operating on Nantucket but I can’t confirm this. If anyone can confirm the 800 simplex usage that would be great.
