Washington County has been making a migration toward having less separation between different police agencies within the county.  There is a basic separation between the West and South parts of the county, where dispatching is now typically combined respectively.  Many of the agency specific talk groups are used much less, if at all.  To be able to distinguish units of different agencies, Washington County police units have 4 digit unit numbers as identifiers, with different agencies in different ranges.  Listed below are the ranges each agency falls within.

Unit Numbers

Washington County has been making a migration toward having less separation between different police agencies within the county. There is a basic separation between the West and South parts of the county, where dispatching is now typically combined respectively. Many of the agency specific talk groups are used much less, if at all. To be able to distinguish units of different agencies, Washington County police units have 4 digit unit numbers as identifiers, with different agencies in different ranges. Listed below are the ranges each agency falls within.

Washington County Fire & EMS

All Washington County fire agencies are dispatched by and through the Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (WCCCA), and are assigned a few dispatches known collectively as FIRECOM. They are responsible for dispatching all calls within the county, as well as requesting mutual aid from neighboring agencies, such as LOCOM, CCOM, and BOEC.

There are eight primary talkgroups, in addition to various miscellaneous talkgroups. For a complete listing, see the Washington County/Clackamas County trunked radio system in the RaidoRefernce database.

Talkgroup ID Talkgroup Name Use
50640   FIRECOM   Dispatch   Used to dispatch fire and EMS resources
50576   OPS 32   Used by Banks, Cornelius, Forest Grove, and Gaston units for routine calls
50544   OPS 33   Used by Hillsboro for routine calls
50512   OPS 34   Used by TVF&R for routine calls
50480   OPS 35   Primary major incident channel for all county agencies
50448   OPS 36   Secondary major incident channel (when Ops 35 is in use)
50608   OPS 37   Tertiary major incident channel (when Ops 35 and 36 are in use); currently used as needed   as a cross-patch to law enforcement talkgroups during sensitive situations, such as threats   of suicide; also used as a minor incident dispatch channel during countywide emergencies
50416   OPS 38   Used by Washington, Yamhill, and Clackamas counties during mutual aid with a patch to   North Marion County Communications (NORCOM) and the agencies they dispatch
50384   OPS 39   Used by Washington and Yamhill agencies, including Gaston and Yamhill RFPD during   mutual aid incidents, with a patch to Yamhill County Communications

EMS Agencies

Metro West Ambulance provides BLS, ILS, and ALS transportation for all medical-related incidents within the county, as well as non-emergency assistance to those with extensive or specialized mobility needs.

Each ambulance is directed to a certain area (post) for coverage throughout the county:

2 SE Brookwood Ave & SW Tualatin Valley Hwy Hillsboro
3 SW Cornelius Pass Rd & W Baseline Rd Hillsboro

27 SW Bull Mountain Rd & Oregon Hwy 99 West Tigard / King City
28 SW Nyberg St & SW 65th Ave Tualatin

¹ Note: while not a post, occasionally you will hear an ambulance responding from here.

In addition, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, Forest Grove Fire & Rescue, HIllsboro Fire & Rescue, and Gaston Rural Fire Protection District have transport-capable medic units, and may occasionally take patients to area hospitals if Metro West has no ambulances available, or in times of major emergencies or disasters.

The Life Flight Network, a system of specially outfitted helicopters, airplanes, and ground transportation provide service in Washington County for critical care transport to Portland area hospitals and trauma centers. Life Flight 1 based at Hillsboro Airport, Life Flight 2 based at the Aurora Airport in Marion County, and Life Flight 7 based in Longview, WA provide the closest coverage to Washington County. Life Fight 14, located in Astoria, also responds to the Washington County area if necessary.

Joint CAD Incident Tracking System

WCCCA and CCOM partnered together to provide to the general public an incident tracking system for fire and medical calls within the two counties. As of 10/272016, this service is no longer available. See the Joint CAD Incident Tracking System for more information.
