I keep seeing these TGs popping up, anyone have any idea what these are for?
They’re encrypted, so no idea.

are those RIDs for CPD or another agency?
OEMC radio ID’s per my list.
Chicago Department of Public Health just heard:
TGID 7034 was self-identified as CDP-EPP 1
TGID 7035 was self-identified as CDP-EPP 2
All CDP personnel monitoring were told to make sure the radios were back on channel EMS-11. I suspect this is for EMS Region-11's (Chicago Region) starcom encrypted talk group as per the previous testing I heard.
TGID 7034 was self-identified as CDP-EPP 1
TGID 7035 was self-identified as CDP-EPP 2

Just a quick correction in the database, 7035 was called CDP-EPP 2. I don't know what EPP stands for, might just be abbreviated for the radio display? I had to listen to my recordings a few times for confirmation.
Oops. I copied and pasted but forgot to change the 1 to 2.
It was just identified as CDPH-EPP 1 (7034) this afternoon which makes more sense. I thought the "CDP" wasn't correct, so probably CDPH-EPP 2 is the correct channel for 7035. Radio ID's that I've seen so far are 790212x series. Nothing other than some testing so far heard.
The "EPP" might be some Emergency Preparedness acronym? I was looking it up, and never found a definitive answer, so it'll be a mystery for now.
CFD consoles must have had a software upgrade of some kind this morning. Audio levels are much louder and cleaer and no MDC tone on the EMS consoles.
These talk groups are no longer in use. Replaced by the Academy 81,82,83,86 and Plummer Training Center talk groups listed:
| 5146 | 141a | T | CPD Training5146 | Education/Training Ops | Law Talk |
| 5147 | 141b | T | CPD Training5147 | Education/Training Ops | Law Talk |
| 5148 | 141c | T | CPD Training5148 | Education/Training Ops | Law Talk |
| 5149 | 141d | T | CPD Training5149 | Education/Training Ops | Law Talk |
| 5150 | 141e | T | CPD Training5150 | Education/Training Ops | Law Talk |
| 5153 | 1421 | T | CPD Training5153 | Education/Training Ops | Law Talk |
| 5154 | 1422 | T | CPD Training5154 | Education/Training Ops | Law Talk |
| 5158 | 1426 | T | CPD/CFD Trng Ctr | Public Safety Training Center: Security Ops | Security |
The MDC tones were back on the EMS consoles yesterday and today.
Yes, it was temporary, at least for now. One of the dispatchers who was having issues hearing the first part of messages on EMS-Main mentioned, "we are back on the back up again so I'm missing the first part of what you said" on Friday morning.
This morning I'm hearing Water Department TGID 4007 being used for what's sounding like construction related traffic. Talk of checking flow, down man holes etc. Last week I heard some testing on this and a few other previously identified but infrequently used talk groups in ths range. Radio ID's were in the 484xxxx range and the talk group were in Phase 2.
Radio Techs are testing coverage in the new Red Line stations up north on TGID 9001. TX-6 and TX-7 are coming up as encrypted while the others are in the clear. Heard them at the Argyle stop testing platform, stairwell areas.

This could be either testing for the CTA (unlikely because its enc) or testing for a citywide 1 migration.
This is the talk group assigned to the OEMC Radio Techs and they frequently use it when performing range/coverage testing.
During yesterday's Senior Fest event downtown, heard a couple units identifying themselves as MIH-1 MIH-2 with radio ID's 1740031/ 1740032 on EMS-Main. First time I can recall hearing that radio call sign and for anyone wondering, here's the information on it:

Channel 2 had a story about the CARE Teams (5-Zebra units) too. After this story, I would expect some changes in regards to hours of operation, responses etc. are forthcoming:

Whistleblower says Chicago's mental health crisis response program has been failing
Programs that send mental health teams in response 911 calls have proved successful in over cities — so why aren't they flourishing in Chicago?

My previous post on the CARE Teams:
Two new Community CARE Teams went up in service today: 5-Z-04 (5-Zebra 04) which covers the 4th CPD District, and 5-Z-12 (5-Zebra 12) which covers the CPD 12th District. By adding these two teams, that corresponds with the 6 CPD Districts serviced on the map. I'm not sure if 5-Z-78 (5-Zebra 78) which covers the CPD 7th & 8th Districts, will be broken up into two teams or will remain as one?
All heard on CFD EMS talk groups 1023, 1024.
CARE Coverage Area
CARE is currently made up of 4 Alternate Response Teams made up of a CDPH Mental Health Crisis Clinician and a CDPH Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). Teams respond to low-risk 911 calls with a mental health component in select police districts across the city. The CARE teams currently...www.chicago.gov
