NH State Police moving communications to Concord

[ddemers8678]

Does anyone know if this is still in the works?

 

[Asmitty0010]

i've been wondering that myself...

 

[LPD7]

for all we know they may have already done it, it dosent really take much.

 

[SCPD]

No move yet

Nope, the dispatchers are still at the troop stations.

When they do move to Concord it will be virtually impossible to detect. The phone lines will simply be redirected to headquarters but all the transmit sites currently being utilized can already be accessed by the consoles in Concord. Out here in scanner land it will all basically be the same traffic coming from the same transmit locations.....except we'll hear the same two or three voices all across the State!

I'll let you know when it happens....

 

[ddemers8678]

I was under the impression all dispatch will be from Concord. Wouldn't that make it clearer from say, Tamworth or Twin Mountain?

What about UNH's project 54?

Nothing will change

Nope, there will be no change at all. The dispatcher in Concord will simply select the current Troop-E or F or D or whatever remote transmitter from their respective console in Concord. All current transmitting sites will remain the same, the dispatchers are quite literally only changing the rooms they will be in (and of course there will be less of them qwith this consolidation plan).

It will also have no effect on those cars with P54 installations.

Again, except for the fact that you will now hear the same voices across the entire State, all else will be transparent to the end user and scanner listener.

From another post of mine

No dispatch out of Twin Mountain anymore?

I have been in love with the voice one of the Troop F midnight female dispatchers since 1990.

I called years ago to report a dead moose on Route 302 and she answered with her name. I have forgotten her name but I looked at the NHSP Annual Report back then and there were two female dispatchers, and I never figured out which one it was.

Please tell me BEFORE the Troop F dispatch closes, I want to record her voice.

I haven't been able to hear Troop F on the online scanner.
If the woman with the sexy voice (like Adrienne Barbeau in "The Fog") is still on midnights please let me know and I'll pay you to record a couple of nights.

Pathetically yours

in Mass, i know if you dial 911 on a cell phone with a massachusetts area code, it is Re-Directed to SP HQ in Framingham. Then they gather the info and transfer it to the Appropriate Barrax or Police Department. It might work that way in NH too. I know that if you dial 911 from a cell phone in the City limits of Lowell Mass, your call goes right to the Lowell Police/Fire 911 Dispatch Center.

Calling NHSP

If you call SP using your cell phone all you have to dial is *77 and that will ring in Headquarters in Concord and then they transfer you to the Troop. But that will change in the near future when they all move to Concord. Just wanted to share that with everyone.

 

[ddemers8678]

I did not know that. I recently called 911 from my truck (for a hard rake in the road pointing up on 293) and I got shuffled around to 3 or 4 different people. Connecting straight to the barracks would have been a whole lot easier. Thanx

Hey Dic,
That your girl dispatching from Troop F tonight????

This is changing in MA as the cell carriers are installing automatic location information systems. Cell calls will go to the PSAP where the caller is located. I imagine this is or will be done everywhere.

You can call HQ at 271-3636 and they will transfer the call to the appropriate troop station.

You can call HQ at 271-3636 and they will transfer the call to the appropriate troop station.

That would be good advice for any area, not just NH.

A couple of years ago, I was in Northeast Philadelphia near the Bucks County border on a train returning from NYC; I had called 9-1-1 to report an incident and my call was initially answered by Burlington County, New Jersey (which is across the Delaware River from that part of Philly. It took a couple of transfers to get the call correctly routed.

If you're in your particular hometown and have a 7 (or, in some states, 10) digit phone number to directly link your municipal or county dispatch center, it'd be a good idea to program that into your cell phone so your 9-1-1 call doesn't go to the wrong dispatch center...

I may be wrong here, but whenever I listed to the NH State Police when they have an announcement, they are always saying something along the lines of "...message... headquarters in Concord, time clear..."

No idea if thats the actual HQ or just the HQ of the troop.

 

[LPD7]

Concord is Department of Public Safety Headquarters, which NH State Police is a part of, Headquarters in Concord is Just for Troop D. Every Troop does it, say their callsign give a BOLO repeate the BOLO then say the callsign time clear... Its just their procedure

 

[ecps92]

If they state "HQ in Concord" then that is who you are hearing.

Rarely did I hear a Troop Dispatch put out the BOLO and typically they were coordinated for a certain time of the day, unless URGENT

NHSP and "authority" headquarters

State Police dispatch in Concord has the ability to transmit simultaneously over all other Troop frequencies via the LAWNET system, so it is possible the HQ could dispatch an all troops broadcast from Concord. That is exactly how the system will work when all dispatch activities are moved to Concord, now rumored to be July 1st of this year.

Also, a BOLO put out by a particular Troop may actually be stating "authority" SPHQ Concord. Usually when a BOLO is given out the authorizing agency is named, i.e. authority PD Manchester, or authority Strafford County Sheriff's Office or authority "Headquarters". That is probably what you are actually hearing or referring to.
