NJICS Municipal Migration Discussion - Statewide

[665_NJ]

Clifton Police switch to NJICS is imminent!!!
Start looking and monitoring for new talk groups or the testing talk groups on NJICS West Orange site with radio IDs starting with 1602xxxx. They can be testing already, however I have not monitored activity yet. The more "ears" on this the better chance of getting this information.
They have recently been issued Harris XL multi band portable radios and a few cars have Harris mobiles. Since these radios are multi band they can be using the new radios on their current VHF channels.

When the switch is indeed made to the NJICS all law enforcement communications will be "E". (I am in a position to know this).
Remaining services are staying where they are VHF/UHF for FD, EMS. OEM & Public Works. The police VHF channels will be for back up of NJICS and local use.

FYI:
However, a clue Clifton may be using the new Harris radios. Clifton MDC numbers normally have been running in upper 800s thru 1010.
Today I noticed much lower MDC numbers of 0164, 0167, 0173. (New batch of radios starting with low MDC numbers?)
So as stated earlier, perhaps they are using their new multi-band radios on their current VHF allocations. When the time comes they merely have to switch!!!

Ken, others Clifton is still on VHF as of today. Don’t believe they are on NJICS. I’m running ID Search and haven’t seen their municipality code radio IDs pop up yet.

They have their new radios already and they are already programmed. Switch over is imminent.

As soon as their supplier gets them something for the desk operations they will probably make the switch. Monitoring the TG's I see traffic throughout the week. I believe they are using them sparingly so they guys can get some use and maybe even see who they work compared to the new sytsem.

Didn’t hear anything on West Orange hinting to them today. May have missed them. I wasn’t monitoring their VHF today either.

I received confirmation that today 5/19/2020 at 11:00am, Clifton PD will be cutting over to p25 digital. I'm unaware of talkgroup id's at this time but There will be Clifton PD 1, Clifton PD 2 and Clifton TAC.

 

[665_NJ]

I find this very interesting. With all our RR friends monitoring NJICS with SDRs and Software, no one has picked up new TGs on the system, especially on the West Orange site in which Clifton would affiliate the most, perhaps Ramapo as secondary. No 1602xxx radio IDs either reported.
If they do switch today. They would be the 1st Dept in NJICS history to make the move so stealthy and secretly that no one was wise to it. Even the town of Livingston we had at least their TGs before hand though they have now switched and their TGs are “E”.
Go figure?

 

[nosoup4u]

All I have on mine is 1 Clifton radio that affiliated with Statecom 1 about 2 weeks ago.

 

[665_NJ]

Well I can confirm Clifton had indeed switched to NJICS. Three as of now “unknown” talk-groups know as Police 1, Police 2 & Police Tac as posted earlier. Start searching for those new TGs and Radio IDs. WTF! I can’t believe they pulled this off so secretly!!!

 

[N2NHL]

I just got a 5091 TG, Encrypted, or is that one known already? UID was 1602000

Nope, that's a new talkgroup with a Clifton RID.

 

[N2NHL]

Ok. more UID's: 1602042, 1602150, 1602300, 1602310, 1602312, 1602192

[665_NJ]

Try also the following additional TG as possiblites; 5903, 5905 they tend to follow odd numbers. for Pd2 and Pd Tac ,,,
