Clifton considering switch to NJICS
Reliable sources are indicating the City of Clifton is seriously considering moving most if not all it's public safety communications to the NJICS system.
No time or dates given as of yet of an exact roll out and switch over to the new system.
A few portables have been given to the Fire Dept by radio sales (Motorola)
for testing. Sources also indicate if PD moves their TG's will be encrypted. Exact testing TG is currently unknown but assuming its a REMU TG or Test TG. (Perhaps 4143 TG 7)???

I agree. I keep saying that buying these expensive digital scanners will not be worth it in the future because 75% of PD will be encrypted in the next 5-7 years. When/if my town goes encrypted, I will sell my scanner.

We've been quite lucky in our little part of the state (western Essex County) that until now, everything's been in the clear.

As of this morning, the Long Branch Police are now fully operational and encrypted on NJICS.
^Great.... Thanks... Im curious what will happen with LBPD1 whether they have have the special's on it, use it for special events, give it to another city department or just disband it.

I have heard unofficial rumblings of using it as the new LBFD fireground. However, as you know LBFD wll have the new 700 mhz. "LAN" talkgroup, eventually.
Lbfd is currently on the old lbpd 2... but anything could happen...
It wouldnt surprise me if they reeprogrammed everything a 2nd or 3rd time within a year.
They may do a mish mash between the TRS and VHF like communicatioms with county on TRS and fireground on vhf.
I hope that there are some upgrades to the system before FD gets on it as it seems to already be a little busy and users are getting denied to the system.
Just my thoughts

They gave up on the old LBPD 2. too many repeater issue's. They are back on north response. I could safely say, count on fd dispatch on north dispatch, and fg on LAN.
I was thinking they were off of LBPD 2 because the repeater is down for the tower work and work installing the 700mhz system.

Looks like south orange is going to NJICS
South Orange Village Trustee Howard Levison detailed new technologies coming to the South Orange Police Department, such as the P25 statewide radio system and physical upgrades to the police headquarters.

Makes little sense when they are a small dept and small town. It is what it ia though. Any timeline?

No need to purchase and maintain infrastructure equipment when you can use someone else's.
You are right. It was a valid point. Thanks.
South Orange tested out the NJICS a few years ago. They had decided against it because they found dead spots in town and they didn't want to give up their VHF frequency that had better coverage. I wonder what caused them to change their mind now. Maybe there are new people in town making decisions.
Hearing Verona testing on 4551 and 4565 today...
