Virginia State Police Unit IDs

Units that ID as "Car XXX" or "9 XXX" aren't VSP units, they are other agency units with VSP capability (VDOT,DMV,ABC,VWR, and few locals). Mobile radios are Motorola XTL 5000's that are currently being upgraded to Motorola APX Line current 2023-2024. Portables are Motorola XTS5000, with upgrades to Motorola APX NEXT currently being rolled out. Lowband radios, Motorola CDM750's, have one frequency programmed in, for SIRS, regardless of what the rumors are, no link to DOC or NCHP in these. VSP Units are also equipped with mobile Vehicle Repeater System (VRS) that is controlled by the officer via a switch to turn on and off. The VRS allows officers to talk directly to the car via portable radio, then to the closest sight giving enhanced radio communications. Many members have scanners in their cars. The MCT's (panasonic toughbooks), transmit data through the onboard car radio system via the STARS Radio Network. More and more messaging is being conducted over the "terminal" to ease radio congestion. Units can access the dispatch CAD directly to mark on duty/off duty/traffic stop/meal break thus opening up more airtime for voice. Some members run completely silent, passing no voice traffic, but dispatchers, by policy, must acknowledge receipt of each terminal message. No encryption is used in the course of normal field ops, but occasionally it is heard on the EPU frequency. A few members also have capabilities on local agency systems, but this is not common, as a separate radio must be carried for this.

Virginia State Police Air Bases

Discussion: Virginia State Police Helicopter Thread (Post#7)
VSP actually has three aviation bases:
- MedFlight I in Chesterfield,
- MedFlight II in Abingdon, and
- MedFlight III in Lynchburg.
- The VSP aviation base in Manassas closed several years ago. Virginia Airborne Search & Rescue Squad (VASARS), a private search and rescue helicopter outfit, now provides SAR support for northern VA.
