here you go
Hello
I'd be happy to share all the marin info I have with you. I've attached the file I use for my Pro-96 setup for the win96 program if you have it (if you don't I highly recommend it, you can download it at
http://www.starrsoft.com/software/win96/default.asp). Novato public safety is all on MERA and I'll give you some talkgroups relevant to Novato below:
Law Enforcement:
47248 NP Novato PD Dispatch 1 (Primary dispatch)
47280 NP 2 Novato PD Dispatch 2 (Secondary dispatch)
47312 NP T1 Novato PD Tactical 1 (Car to car, etc...)
47376 NP T2 Novato PD Tactical 2
47216 NP AD Novato PD Administration
Novato PD has 4 beats:
1- San Marin
2- Vintage Oaks/Bahia
3- Ignacio/Hamilton
4- Downtown Novato
On the radio you'll hear their unit IDs sound like "13L14" "13L41" etc. (they often cut off the first number to shorten it so it's just like "L14") The 13 stands for the department, which is Novato PD. The L is patrol officer, you'll also hear X for sergeant and K for investigator and K9 units. The last two numbers are the beat number, followed by the officer's radio ID number. (So L14 would be San Marin, make sense?) Listening to Novato it sounds to me like there are at least two officers on each beat most of the time bringing the total to 8, plus a sergeant or two all on duty.
