Introduction
The Riverside County PSEC project is designed to completely dedesign the radio infrastructure for Riverside County. As of the date of this publication, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department uses an EDACS Networked Standard system, which barely provides radio reception to half of the county. The successor of that EDACS system, PSEC, is supposed to cover approximately 90-95% of the county.
Encryption and Monitoring
As of the date of this publication, all law enforcement talkgroups are planning on being encrypted. On another note, the only scanner (as of yet) that is capable of receiving P25 Phase II systems is the GRE PSR-800. Any plans of Uniden or GRE to add native support for Phase II to their other scanners is pure speculation at this point in time.
City-Operated Agencies
Other city-operated agencies in Riverside County have yet to announce plans of joining the PSEC system or to stay with their conventional setups.
Riverside County Fire Department
According to several CDF/Riverside County Fire Department officials, the only element that the fire department will use on the new system is for station paging. All of the voice channels that are in the 150 MHz band will remain the exact same as they are now.
Expansion Plans
The PSEC project was initally designed to cover Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Imperial Counties, as well as couties in Arizona bordering California. Whether the counties surrounding Riverside still intend to join the system is unknown, only time will tell.
