Around the 3pm shift change today, I heard a NYPD dispatcher on two separate channels dispatching units. It was the 63/69 & 67/71 channels and it was a first for me. You can hear central on both frequencies dispatching all the units but you couldn’t hear the units in the field on their respective channel. It lasted about 20 minutes and even the units were confused why central was dispatching a 63 unit on 67/71 channel. It was a one-sided conversation when an outside unit was being dispatched on either frequencies.
I’m assuming the communication section is down on manpower due to covid-19, so they combined channels to make up for it until they could find someone to fill in. I’ve seen EMS do this before but never PD.
