This is where you, the user, may index any articles you develop for scanning related topics for this Trunked Radio System.

Calvert County utilizes a Motorola Trunking Radio System for Fire, EMS, Law Enforcement (Sheriff's Office), and many other county services.

Fire/EMS Tactical Talkgroup Usage

Calvert County utilizes three talkgroups for Fire and EMS. After being dispatched, units move to their assigned tactical channel for operations. County 911 monitors all tactical channels. Usually EMS calls share Tac 3 while Tac 1 and 2 are generally for fires, HAZMAT, rescue, and other larger incidents.

• Tac 1 - Fire/Rescue
• Tac 2 - Fire/Rescue
• Tac 3 - EMS

Law Enforcement Talkgroup Usage

Sheriff's Office operates on their primary dispatch channel and rarely ventures onto the other talkgroups that are available to them. The detention center also has a talkgroup that they utilize regularly. Animal control also has their own talkgroup but is often heard on the "police dispatch" talkgroup.

Maryland State Police utilizes their talkgroup on the system fairly regularly and can be heard more often on the TRS than on their low-band channels.

New TRS

According to a "slow growth" request letter to the FCC, Calvert County is planning for a new TRS in the next few years. They've already secured new frequencies as listed below.
