Three Recent Clark County RR Database updates:

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD):
The unencrypted On-Scene LVMPD-to-Fire/EMS Coordination talkgroup for each LVMPD Area Command have been added to the Mutual Aid Channels (InterOp) talkgroup section...

Rebel Communications NXDN L29 sites now MRA SoCal NXDN R31 DFA sites:
With the exception of three Clark County / Las Vegas L29 sites that are resort / business specific (Site 8 - Nevada Ready Mix, Site 10 - South Point Hotel and Casino and Site 11 - JW Marriott Las Vegas) all of the rest of the NV/AZ/UT Rebel Communications L29 NXDN sites are now Mobile Relay Associates (MRA) SoCal R31 NXDN DFA sites...
(Any additional Talkgroup finds / updates would be greatly appreciated.)

The Cosmopolitan is no longer on its own stand-alone CONNECT+ system - it is now MGM Resorts International DT3 site S16-11...

I am curious where these interop channel updates came from. I have never heard of those channels being used, or any officers being told to switch to those channels to speak to fire. And I also just had someone check a Patrol officer Radio and those talk groups are not programmed in the radios at all.

Could they possibly be talk groups on each agency's console that they can patch in/out of on their own?

Example:
PD dispatcher patches PD TAC talk group to the INTEROP talk group.

FD dispatch patches FD TAC talk group to the INTEROP talk group.

Now, both agencies field units can talk to each other without having to switch channels or have the other agencies channels programmed.

AND, this let's each agency patch into one another without having to patch each others talk groups directly together, they just patch into the INTEROP talkgroup separately, and can leave whenever they want by just unpatching out of the INTEROP talk group.

We have something similar in my region. Mainly used on pursuits or manhunts that one agency is working in another agency's jurisdiction so both can work it jointly without the officers needing to switch channels.

There are two main radio networks in Las Vegas. Metro Police has one which they use and a couple of other agencies use, and then there is SNACC. I believe that each of those systems has 10 mutual aid channels that are patched to each other. So a Metro police officer can tune to mutual aid channel one, and a Henderson Police officer can tune to mutual aid channel one and they can speak to each other.

Metro SWAT often pops up on the SNACC interop channels when their medical liaison talks with the City or County fire unit assigned to a barricade for example, but I too am curious. I don't have any of those channels in my PD radio. I emailed Kurt to see if he could clarify what those channels are, I'm guessing he just assigned them the alpha tag for lack of better name.

Wow I’m definitely interested in monitoring those new LVMPD channels. I’ve noticed on the PulsePoint app for CCFD, LVFR, and NLVFD they have a few new specific call details such as “Police assist”. I wonder if this change includes calls reference that for example.

I have responded to several of those police assist calls that pop up in pulse point while listening to a licensed Metro Radio. None of them were the FD actually requesting assistance from the police. One of them was a suicide call where the police came, 30 minutes after the 911 call, and then knocked on the door of the apartment and determined that it was third hand information that someone inside the apartment may have been making vaguely suicidal statements.

I meant the other way around like police requesting FD or EMS to stage or assist. Interesting though.

Yeah, when there have been swat standoffs or things where they have EMS staging, I’ve never seen those calls show up on pulse point ever. Basically anything with blood or violence, I’ve heard go out over the metro radio, but not over pulse point.

Chatting with Kurt it would seem like those new talk groups link with SNACCs IOP channels. Based on the audio he sent me that seems to be the case. Eventually I'll be able to correlate the two and update the database. Just got to wait until the next barricade.
