There's a bank robbery being investigated at this time.

A Patrol Sgt's phone number was broadcast - which happens more often than you might think - and apparently some civilian called it (I think impersonating an officer).

Subsequent chatter mentioned FBI task force, spoofing of police communications.

Truly a foolish move, calling a police phone numbers captured over the air.

If I recall correctly, it was Tactical North, also known as "NorthWest" by SPD radio operators. The talk group id for Tactical North is 3696.
