NY state police NYC division

[MasterPo]

Hi all looking to find where the state police cars that are in NYC operating on, if you do a google search about the state police they show all the division and one is name NYC but in all radio frequency's don't list the NYC and says that they are on the Metro-25/MTA MRRS system but NYC dose not show, so does anyone know which troop they operate on, very odd thanks in advance

Not quite sure what you're asking. They, as far as I know, use the Metro-25/MTA MRRS system, with one talkgroup reading "Troop NYC" for Troop NYC's dispatch channel, I would imagine all the other channels are in use down there as well.

Thing is I'm using sentinel to look for the information and not the data base I see talk groups on the data base but in Sentinel it does not show as NYC or am I doing this the wrong way

Ah, that makes far more sense. You can find it here:

USA
New York
New York City
County Systems
Metro-25/MTA MRRS
New York State Police

It isn't considered a statewide system, so it won't be under New York State Police the same way their statewide channels and channels for other troops are.

The RR database contains all of the information you seek. In the future, if you don't see something in Sentinel, research the database and you'll probably find what you're looking for rather quickly. For example the New York State Police page in the database clearly states that Troop NYC operates on the Metro-25 trunked system. It even provides a link directly to that system.

Hey, look at that.. The information is right in the database where it should be.

And then look, its even on the top of the Metro-25 System. Who woulda thought...

I remember when I was new to this hobby. It was a lot to learn, and very complex. The veterans in the hobby were smart, friendly, and welcoming. The technology has evolved a long way from analog conventional to digital trunking and encryption, and can take years to understand. The database provides rudimentary technical data, and might as well be in Russian to a novice.

I also remember my first beer. Don't be such a DBag, Seagrave

Despite the arrogant, condescending reply from someone who clearly knows jack, not all NYSP cruisers in NYC are on the trunk system. Many are NOT, depending, on what state entity they are patrolling/protecting (parkways, bridges, etc.).

Your question was a fair one, and very relevant. The breakdown of NYSP radio coverage in NYC is complex, and always changing. The RR database doesn't come close to explaining it clearly. The last excellent reference was n2nov.net, which has great info but has since become depricated.

Don't be discouraged by haters who are gonna hate. It's still a great hobby that I've loved for 40 years. Feel free to DM with questions.

Information on n2nov.net is based on personal observations and submissions that I then verify by listening. No submissions, no updates.

Charles:

Just to clarify, in no way did I intend to be critical of your webpage. I was only noting that some of the links are outdated, but maintaining a site like that is a tireless and often thankless labor of love. The site remains the quintessential NYC reference.

www.n2nov.net IS and has been the best NYC scanner reference. EVER. PERIOD.

I still use it regularly, and will continue to. Thank you for all of the hard work you have put into the incredible reference over the years. It has been greatly appreciated and should be recognized. When the Scanzy Awards are given out, I will nominate you for a lifetime achievement award.

With great appreciation and respect,
