Public Safety Radio Communications

Public safety communications within Jefferson County are served primarily by the Jefferson County Public Safety TRS and are dispatched by Jefferson County 911. All public safety agencies within the county have a presence on the 911 System TRS. This Motorola Type II 800 Mhz trunked system is currently supporting only analog voice. For those of you who are curious, MDT data is transmitted on conventional 800 mhz frequencies and not over the trunked system - and it cannot be decoded with any programs you may find on the Internet, so don't bother.

Frequencies for this system are:

Site	Name	Freqs
001 (1)	Rebanded	851.162500	851.412500c	853.237500

The red frequencies are rotating control channels. As such, you should make sure and program all four of those frequencies in your scanner. The control channel rotates every 24 hours or so.

Some agencies have their own talkgroups. Agencies without their own talkgroups can be found on one of the division talkgroups.

Certain agencies including Steubenville PD, Toronto PD, and Steubenville FD have their own dispatchers as well. Other agencies rely solely upon Jefferson County 911.

In addition to public safety agencies you will find school buses for Toronty City Schools, Buckeye Local and Indian Creek on the system.
