Does anyone know how to listen to this PD? They do not appear active on the County system even though they are listed there. Did they move from the trunked Orange County system to another one?

They are on LE Response South, dispatched by the county, just like it says in the notes for the trunked system.

Thanks, but that is what I am referring to. I never hear them talk - I only hear Tuxedo Park PD on that channel.

Tuxedo Park has their own talkgroup. The town is dispatched on LE Response South, that's the bottom line.

I'm not sure what there was to figure out. :unsure: There have been very clear, concise notes on the system's database page for years explaining which countywide law enforcement talkgroups are used by which agencies. It's somewhat disheartening to hear that the effort we've put into making stuff like this easily accessible is for naught.

I am sorry that I caused you disheartenment; this was my fault for moving too fast and not seeing the details you pointed out. I am new here. Hope you have a better day.

A common issue is many users just depend on the Sentinel download and never look at RRDB and then are frustrated they don't see a particular local agency in the descriptions.

And now just imagine how obscure the wiki is! If people aren't looking at the database pages for info (the backbone of this entire website), they sure as heck aren't looking at any wiki pages.

I dont understand why people have to be sarcastic and try to make people feel inadequate or stupid. We are all here to learn, educate and discuss the hobby. The OP is a newbie and a premium subscriber at that! Those type of remarks (see quote above) can discourage people from this forum and the hobby all together.

There was no sarcasm in any of my posts here. I was very straightforward and gave the OP clear answers. Twice, in fact, to the same question and the answer remained the same. I then pointed out that there are multiple notes in the database explaining where the Town of Tuxedo PD has been operating for the past 5 years, thus no mystery to it and nothing to need figuring out. I then expressed my sincere dismay at the fact that we put a good deal of effort into maintaining the database, including adding those sorts of notes (which we don't have to, by the way), only for people to not seem to find them hiding in plain sight.

But thanks for your invaluable insight a week and a half later, we're all better for it I'm sure.

Now see, that is sarcasm! :giggle:

Because people don’t look, and post on here wanting to be spoon fed the answers.

Often, the Town of Tuxedo and Tuxedo Park are grouped together, hence I was looking in the wrong place.
I didn't want to be spoon fed.
I also wish I wasn't made to feel like I do not belong; very unfortunate that new folks are made to feel unwanted here.

I apologized for my oversight; I don't know what else anyone expects from me.

I will not post here again.

I think this is being blown way out of proportion. No one, certainly not me, was trying to make anyone feel "unwanted". Did I not provide you with the correct answer....twice? What more was I supposed to do? Anyway.

No one in this thread tried to make people feel inadequate or stupid. The OP asked a question, and he got the answer; then, the OP asked a follow-up question and got an answer. At no point was anyone trying to make people feel inadequate or make remarks to discourage people. The questions were asked and answered multiple times. GTR was only trying to point out that the info is all there and, better yet, in the Database.

I personally put a lot of work into various wiki pages, so I understand the point that was trying to be made about how we put a good deal of effort into maintaining the Database and/or wiki, only for people not to find them in plain sight or not appreciate the work put into it. I personally would be upset that all the work I put into the wiki went unnoticed. I particularly don't mind the discussion or two about how things operate, but most, if not all, info is in the wiki, forums, or Database as well. And im not going to be spoon-feeding the answers. Most of the info that people are looking for is on various pages. You just have to look and click on a few different things to find what you're looking for. It's as simple as that.

Rumor has it that Tuxedo PD is planning on staffing police dispatchers 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. 7am-11pm, 11pm-7am will be covered by OC 911. Fire and EMS will remain with OC 911.
