The Magnificent
Had a conversation recently with a friend of mine that worked in the 52 up in The Bronx and I asked him if his desk has a radio for Yonkers PD (going based off of a comment I saw once in another thread talking about that NYPD and Yonkers would do a mutual and exchange a portable or portable) which he confirmed to me they indeed do.
Thinking on that logic, I know NYPD has become very closed off with having outside agencies that work within NYC utilize their channels for anything to the point that now some agencies have an NYPD officer designated as the liaison between their agency and NYPD to relay comms to central or operations (kind of redundant in certain situations but understandable). What if this TRS is just for outside agencies to be able to communicate for whatever reason. Going based off of some of the other comments saying that one of the TGs is for MTS-17-MTN (any truth to that?), PAPD and MTA Police both operate within the confines of this precinct, perhaps this TRS is for them to communicate vs NYPD’s Electronic Section giving out their AES keys and transmit NACs to outsiders. Maybe they’ll have it for every command in the city for the outside agencies (1/5/7/HB4 has PAPD, HHC, NYSP, DHS amongst others there for example). I’m curious about certain commands / areas such as Sea Gate and Starrett City / Spring Creek which has peace officers who utilize the radio and take in radio runs in the area (this was confirmed to me by someone that worked in Sea Gate after retiring from NYPD). I know Sea Gate for example carries two types of radios, Hytera for DMR (their personal channel) and an NYPD radio with their name at the bottom under the alpha tag with every Brooklyn and Citywide zone. I know for a fact that Sea Gate responds to jobs both in the 60 and PSA 1. I was told it’s the same logic for Spring Creek Public Safety while in the 75 but I can’t speak for there because I don’t know anyone there. That’s what I feel the purpose of this TRS could be for, or maybe for the press with some type of a delay and Electronic Section punches in the affiliation and keys in for them like in agencies down south. Feel free to agree or disagree. My apologies for this comment being confusing and all over the place.
