New Somerset Co TRS Changes- Police

[richee2000]

anyone know why South Bound Brook PD is now on Region 4? and Also what the new Region 11 and Region 12 Police Regions will be for?

I honestly have no idea - I asked my friend last night who works for the county in the radio repair division & he said he has no clue what the changes are for (i.e. - above his pay grade!)

Region 11 & 12

Maybe Warren, maybe Watchung??

Also maybe Bound Brook. They are the only 3 left.

With Dunellen operating off the system, and supposingly happy, maybe Piscataway might be interested?

 

[richee2000]

piscataway is part of the new Middlesex Co 700 p25 system, I thought

The changing that they're doing may indicated they can't reach a happy medium. Piscataway is so large and spread out with many low areas previously farm areas. May be tough getting reception all over.

and why Somerset County has the need to Encrypt their "radio maintenance" comm channel, i will never understand.

I found a Bound Brook radio ID that affiliated on NJICS in the last couple of days.

 

[richee2000]

interesting,, why would bound brook go there, instead of the County system?

 

[nosoup4u]

They probably tuned to one of the statecom talkgroups. I believe that all the county 700 radios have those programmed.

To pass along sensitive information (user names/passwords to log onto terminals at tower sites for example). They also do it to test the encryption capabilities.

Bound Brook might not want to give up their self dispatching. I'm not sure if Somerset Co wants everyone to migrate to county dispatch or not but I know that's the case in Monmouth County. Then again a few municipalities in Somerset Co have used the county TRS for years with self dispatching.

LeRoy Gunzelman had it in his 'grand vision' when he was still in charge of OEM & county central dispatch that everyone would be going to county - the mass migration just occurred a bit after his retirement...

do you remember that plan, a few years ago, to convert ALL local police dept to one, central "somerset county police force'??

 

[nosoup4u]

Today I am seeing a Bound Brook radio attempting to affiliate (Denied) to TG 369 and 380 on the NJICS Hunterdon Site. I am guessing it is trying to roam over the NJICS system from the Somerset System or the radio is totally mis-configured.

Just heard county call Middlesex cars over the Region 4 channel. So maybe Middlesex Borough got in on the whole deal like Dunellen did. So Region 4 now possibly SBB, Green Brook, Dunellen, Middlesex.

Interesting. Will continue to listen to confirm more.

 

[richee2000]

interesting.. did you notice what the "number" sequence of the middlsesex cars are?

Didn't catch it. But I got the radio right next to me, so I'll update if I hear anything more.
