Oregon Dept. of Corrections P25 TRS

[Thunderbolt]

Last month, I ran into a recently retired corrections officer from the Oregon DOC at a local Target store here in Michigan. He said that before he retired from the Snake River Correctional Institution, they had switched over to a new P25 TRS radio system from Harris, and their old Motorola Type-II TRS is now history. He really liked the new radios, as he could communicate with other prison facilities around the state when transporting prisoners. He said the EOCI in Pendelton is also on the new P25 TRS.

Does anyone know if the ODOC are on the Oregon State Radio Project, or do they have their own P25 TRS?

No, they're on their own system. Deer Ridge Correctional is about 20 miles north, but you have to be pretty close to pick them up. So I haven't done a lot of info gathering. What little I have found, is here:

Deer Ridge Correctional Institution Trunking System, Madras, Oregon

Snake River Correctional Institution

I know that place very well -- drove it by it many times on the way to Boise. It's a pretty dark area at night and seeing the lights from the freeway always told me where I was...

I meant to stop by there and do some bunnery but never got a chance.
