Countywide Public Safety
[edit] Countywide Agencies[edit] Ontario Provincial PoliceThe Ontario Provincial Police use the Bell Mobility Fleetnet Zone 1 system for most of their communications. All communications on the Operational Talkgroups are APCO25. Interagency talkgroups are generally analog but are rarely used. The OPP also make use of analog mobile repeaters and wide area analog repeaters for portable coverage. The following detachments are located within Simcoe County: Collingwood, Dufferin, Huronia West, Orillia and South Georgian Bay. They are active on the following digital APCO25 talkgroups:
Barrie is normally patched with Southern Georgian Bay and Collingwood is normally patched with Huronia West. Due to a bug in Uniden scanners, make sure you program in both talkgroups. If you only program Barrie in and the patch is setup on Southern Georgian Bay's talkgroup, you will not hear anything. The Orillia talkgroup is usually not patched. Mnjkaning (Rama First Nation) units are generally heard on the Orillia talkgroup although at times, they will use their own talkgroup. Special Operations and Events will be found on the Tactical talkgroups. Orillia Comm Centre is assigned 1TAC04 - 1TAC08. [edit] Soft ID's for Simcoe County
If you do not have a digital scanner, it is sometimes possible to still listen to the OPP using one of their mobile analog repeaters (VR 01, VR02 or VR03) or a wide area analog repeater (BEAT 01, BEAT 02 or URBAN). The mobile and wide area analog repeater frequencies can be found on the Fleetnet Conventional Frequencies Page. Collingwood uses BEAT 01, Huronia West uses BEAT 02 and Orillia uses URBAN. Barrie and Southern Georgian Bay do not utilize wide area analog repeaters. The mobile repeater channel VR01 is the main channel for all mobile repeaters in Simcoe County. VR02 and VR03 are generally reserved for special operations. [edit] Ministry of Health (EMS Services)Ambulance Service is provided throughout Simcoe County by the Ministry of Health. Communications will be found in analog on the Bell Mobility Fleetnet Zone 1 system. The two talkgroups used for Simcoe County are Georgian North and Georgian South. The Georgian North talkgroup covers the municipalities of: Orillia, Severn Township, Town of Midland, Town of Penetang, Oro-Medonte Township, City of Barrie, Tay Township, Tiny Township, Town of Wasaga Beach, Town of Collingwood and the Township of Clearview. The Georgian South talkgroup covers the municipalities of: Bradford West Gwillimbury, New Tecumseh, Essa Township, Springwater Township and Adjala-Tosorontio Township. The Ministry of Health also utilizes several conventional frequencies
These include several vehicular repeater frequencies utilized when ambulance personnel are away from their vehicles, station paging, a common simplex channel and a backup tactical channel. The station paging frequency is used by Georgian CACC to page the appropriate station with details of the call. When in the vehicle, the crew will respond on the appropriate dispatch talkgroup. If an accident is serious enough, the Air Ambulance could be called in. In the southern part of Simcoe County, listeners might be able to hear the output of the repeater located near Aurora in York Region. If not able to hear the output of the repeater, then listening to the input will allow the helicopter to be heard. Communications between Georgian CACC, land ambulances and the Air Ambulance generally take place on Provincial Common, 150.1000. Once enroute to the hospital, the crew will request a patch to the hospital. Generally Tac 1 and Tac 2 are used for patches to hospitals within Simcoe County. Georgian CACC will call alert the hospital and then patch the Tac channel assigned with the specific hospital talkgroup. Normally, it is only necessary to program in the Tac channels although sometimes, the hospital talkgroup is the talkgroup the patch is setup on. Tac 5 is sometimes used for special events and is worth programming in. Refresh this page with the latest data |
