NHSP troop b

All but E/F have been at HQ for sometime now, not new and not the reason for new frequencies.

NHSP Consolidating Communications?

Hey all, I just noticed there is a note in the database section on this site for NHSP that says they are working on moving all communications to Concord. Does anyone know if this is still in the works? Just curious. Thanks.

it looks like troops b and d will be dispatched from concord according to what I found in the link. This would explain the change in the frequency repeater configuration.

 

[cboykonh]

being that both b and d are now under concord the frequencies are tied together now. the repeaters and frequencies are different but they both now go under the4 same dispatch center of concord so if a call goes out on troop b it can also be heard on d. I heard a call go out for weare which was under b but could lso be under d. Looking at the link i sent that must be part of the big change.

This is from the state police web site.


Headquarters Communications

The State Police Communications Center, located in the Incident Planning and Operations Center in Concord, New Hampshire is responsible for dispatching Headquarters, Troop B, and Troop D personnel along with Liquor Enforcement, the Fire Marshal’s Office, Forestry and Fish and Game. Additionally, coverage is provided for Troops A, C and E.

The Communications Center is also responsible for receiving all nationwide law enforcement electronic messages, which include the data entry system for both the National Criminal Information Center (NCIC) and the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS). This also includes entering information from state and local agencies into the State Police On-Line Telecommunications System (SPOTS) and NLETS, including the NCIC state database for In-State Misdemeanor Warrants and Domestic Violence Petitions (DVP).
Always looking to remain updated with modern technology, the employees of the Division of State Police continuously explore new opportunities to promote greater efficiencies in order to provide a higher level of service to the residents and guests of the state of New Hampshire.

Could troop d headquarters dispatch on 2 frequencies at tge same time? Looking at this link it looks like concord is responsible for dispatching for hq, troops b and d. That’s why I’m wondering if it’s possible to dispatch in 2 frequencies at tge same time.

 

[cboykonh]

Looking at the messages about NHSP troops a-d being dispatched through hq, does this mean that if I monitor troop d hq I woukd hear calls go out for all of those troops on hq frequency 156.21?

 

[KB1VLA]

No.

 

[cboykonh]

It looks like with everything that I’ve read they have switched all communications for troops a to d through hq troop d. If that’s true than calls going out to all of those troops woukd be heard on 156.21 hq frequency.

That is correct.

That is not correct. HQ dispatches each troop on that troop's frequency.

Could troop d headquarters dispatch on 2 frequencies at tge same time? Looking at this link it looks like concord is responsible for dispatching for hq, troops b and d. That’s why I’m wondering if it’s possible to dispatch in 2 frequencies at tge same time.

This is an entirely different question. I've never seen NHSP's consoles, but many dispatch consoles can multi-select multiple channels to be transmitted on at the same time - so it is likely possible.

I’ve heard on troop d headquarters dispatch for incidents I. Troop a as well as b and d areas, so this makes me think that they are transmitting on multiple frequencies at tge same time so that is why I hearing the commas that are probably going through troop d but also b and a too,

 

[cboykonh]

Going back to my original question about multiple channels being used at the same time, I’ve heard incidents being dispatched out for areas in troop b, a and d. This is why I wondered about this cuz it’s all being heard on 156.21. I heard traffic that was weak on b but I switched to d it was clear as a bell. It seems to me that is exactly what they are doing.

 

[ecps92]

Simple and no over thinking needed.

A Dispatcher can "select" aka Key up, Any combination / All of the channels available in their console at anytime [even in error] they wish.
Which explains for some folks why they here FD or PD on a DPW channel (Dispatch only)

Lets pick for simplicity - Capital Area Fire - the Dispatch can pick any combination of channels, sites they want or need at any given minute with a click, two or three of a mouse.

[cboykonh]

I was wondering, do NHSP units operating in troop b have to use 154.935 or can they use 156.21if they are close to that repeater while in troop b?

 

[jmarcel66]

Traditionally no. They stick to the troop channel while in that troops coverage area.

 

[cboykonh]

I live in north Weare which borders on concord. That is why I’m asking this question.

 

[gillham]

This is purely anecdotal and quite possibly totally unrelated - but Troop B seems to come in loud and clear in Billerica in the recent weeks (month?). I normally don't scan NHSP Troop B, but it got picked up on the SDS100 while the GPS was warming up I guess.

 

[cboykonh]

If a call were to go out for NHSP assistance for hillsborough, Deering or Weare which is typically troop b’s territory, being that those areas are also close to troop d territory, is it possible that one might hear them get dispatched from hq 156.21? 156.21 is closer to those towns especially the northern part of Weare is way closer to kearsarge and pats peak than Bedford. It woukd make sense that in tge case of hillsborough, Deering and Weare woukd be heard getting NHSP units getting dispatched from 156.21, while new Boston, goffstown woukd be closest to Bedford.

 

[ecps92]

Please stop over thinking this.

B Troop is dispatched on B Troop Frequencies, it has nothing to do with the closest transmitters on any NHSP frequency.
C Troop is dispatched on C Troop Frequencies
E Troop is dispatched on D Troop Frequencies.
etc etc etc

They may decide (users choice) to select multiple troop for a wider-area alert on a Call, but A uses A, B uses B etc

Tge reason why I’m asking because NHSP troop b comes in in south Weare but not north Weare because it’s blocked by a mountain., mt willliam. North Weare gets 156.21 quite clearly but nit 154.935.

 

[jmarcel66]

I think the thing is the information has been comprehensively covered to the point there's nothing more to add, yet the answers do not seem satisfactory. There's really nothing more to say.

Your reception and perception of the coverage of the NHSP system will not be the driving force of how NHSP utilizes it's radio system.

Unless there is a signal 1000 or the channel is down for some reason, the troopers stick to their assigned Troop Station channel.

 

[ecps92]

lets try this one, before the IGNORE function get's used by me (and likely many who have attempted to help you out) , as it is obvious you have a comprehension issue.

Lakes Region Fire Dispatches on Lakes Region Fire
even tho a closer transmitter might be on a different radio network, Lakes Region Fire uses ONLY Lakes Region Fire.
