Orange County NY CORNET / OCPSRS ?

[w2lpa]

Any new developments with the Orange County OCPSRS system? New site(s)?
I do see that more talkgroups have gone encrypted such as the Florida NY PD.

I do see that more talkgroups have gone encrypted such as the Florida NY PD.

Last update in the db was over a year ago. Only enc Florida tg is a tac tg. If you have a scanner and its up to date, and the ability to do ID SEARCH, do that as it may show any new tg's.

What developments are you expecting? No new sites, nor is it expected that any will be added. The equipment that was originally intended for Arden was installed in Middletown a few years ago. As for encryption, all law enforcement tactical talkgroups were strapped secure two years ago, nothing has changed recently. As for new talkgroups, the database is up to date, nothing of note has been added recently.

Thank you, was just curious if anything new, seems things have settled in with the system. Is there any feedback from LE/Fire on how it is working out? And, I missed that Florida is dispatched on LE South.

Feedback from all users has been generally good. While there's always room for improvements in all systems, particularly this one, the system performs well despite its current design. There has been dramatic improvements in schools "County Wide" by adding BDA's. Certain schools that had absolutely no coverage whatsoever, now have full coverage throughout the entire building. Unrelated to the TRS, there's talk of improving Fire & EMS paging by adding a few more transmitters around the County.

I rarely, if ever, see the Florida TAC encrypted channel used. So, if you're looking for Florida PD traffic, pretty much everything is going to be in the clear on the LE South dispatch channel. Florida is also a small village, so there's not a whole heck of a lot of traffic to begin with.
