Countywide Law Enforcement
All police departments in Ingham County have a number designator assigned to the department. Most departments use this number as the first digit in their unit number. Lansing has their own dispatch channels, East Lansing/MSU have their own dispatch channel, and all other units share an out-county dispatch talkgroup. All county law enforcement has access to clear and encrypted common ops talkgroups, and every out-county department has their own proprietary tactical non-encrypted channel. Lansing has several proprietary encrypted tactical/ops channels, and East Lansing/MSU also have their own. The encrypted ops channels are often setup so that they scan and also pick up traffic on the main dispatch channels. Groups, such as parking enforcement and contracted security, have their own operations/tactical (and dispatch) talkgroups, but also have access to main dispatch and tactical channels. Michigan State University also uses MPSCS for IPF and transit, and they do have some common interoperability talkgroups with law enforcement. 33SPEV1-10 are also used for training scenarios, so not every crazy thing you may hear going on there is real.
