Hello folks,

I drive through Washington County RI on my way over to I95. I do a regular commute to NYC. I have a few questions I would like to clarify.

The database has Exeter listed as a city. Is it a city or a town? Does that make a difference in RI? There are two uhf repeater freqs marked public safety. Is that for police or ems or both? I have them in my scanner but I have never copied any activity. It looks like a slow rural department. Does Exeter have a full time police dept?

I also pass through North Kingstown. Is this a separate town then Kingston? There is no listing for the police there, does anyone know it? I know they have a full time dept, because they pulled me over on the way to work at 0330 hrs.

Are they a completely separate government from South Kingstown? Are the fire districts in the area co-terminus with the town borders?

Any help is appreciated. My goal is to have a radio with freqs that will cover my entire trip from Newport to NYC, in case I encounter anything going on.
