Long Beach Fire Department

• Dispatches are on Fire 1
• In the event of a fire or response requiring an Incident Command, Fire 2 is used for the Tac channel and Fire 3 is used for the Command channel.
• If there are no active incidents, Fire 2 may be used for communication between units in the field.

Medical

Based on the level of the call (see below), a four-man engine and either a BLS or Rescue unit are dispatched.

Freeway Response

When a freeway response is dispatched, an engine and BLS or Rescue unit are dispatched to each side of the freeway as the exact location reported is not always correct.

For example, if a call comes in for the 405 northbound at Cherry, an engine and Rescue rig will be dispatched to the northbound 405. A second engine and a BLS unit will be dispatched to the same location coming southbound on the 405.

Fire response

For a report of an active fire, the standard response is a Battalion Chief, three engines, a truck, and a rescue unit. The first engine on scene begins an attack on the fire. The second engine mans a hydrant and begins pumping to the first engine. The personnel from the second engine begin a primary search of the building. The truck company will begin vertical ventilation on the roof. The third engine will request an assignment from either the captain of the first engine, or the battalion chief if he has arrived. The third engine is usually responsible for shutting off utilities to the structure if this has not been done yet.

Medical Response levels

LOB Fire uses a three stage system for identifying the response needed to calls with injuries or medical problems. The Captain of the Engine (or Truck if one is sent in place of an engine) can request upgrades or downgrades to the level of call once the patients have been assessed.

• Alpha - no injuries, no patient transport required.
• Bravo - minor or non-life threatening injuries that can be transported BLS.
• Charlie - major or life-threatening injuries that require ALS transport.

Currently all dispatches for VFCC occur on RED 1 (ICIS System, TG: 33616)

Dispatch format: Units, Call Type, Location, Cross Streets, Tac Channel.

Most calls will be kept on Red 1, however if there is more than 2-3 units on the call, they will be switched over to a ICIS tactical, Red 2-8.

For those without digital scanners that live in the Sierra Madre, Pasadena, Arcadia, or Duarte area, you can still listen to Verdugo Dispatch on the VHF band on 154.3700.

Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department

Overview

The following explanation is an excerpt directly from the Southern California Frequency Directory:

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department operates a conventional radio system referred to as the "480 System" within the department, because of the frequencies it occupies. The system uses over sixty repeater sites around the county, most of which are on hilltops, to relay communications. The hilltops from which a particular repeater transmits from is dependant upon the area that channel was intended to cover. Communications on a particular channel will sound the best when monitoring from within or near the area that the personnel assigned to that channel patrol.

With the exception of Special Units Dispatch (which has countywide coverage), Dispatch and Local Tactical channels each have the smallest area of intended coverage. As a result, a listener must be relatively closer to a particular dispatch area to hear communications on that channel clearly. Conversely, Area Tactical and Countywide Tactical channels each are intended to cover the territory of several or all of the dispatch channels combined. As a result, listeners can hear communications on any given Area Tactical and Countywide Tactical channels from further reaches of the county than corresponding Local Tactical or Dispatch channels. While these repeater configurations provide varying degrees of expanded coverage on a particular channel, personnel may bypass the repeaters and use simplex on any channel, commonly referred to as "direct", "talk-around", or "car to car" operation.

The Sheriff's Communications Center (SCC) is located in East Los Angeles near the Biscaluze Jail, and dispatchers all incidents countywide. To assist SCC in confirming who is transmitting, each time a deputy presses the transmit button on his radio the radio transmits a unique identifier (called a "G-Star AID", "burp", or "burst" encoder, or more commonly a "turkey call"). The unique IDs are displayed on the SCC dispatcher's screen. When a radio's emergency trigger (also called "E-Trigger" or man down switch.) is activated, the radio switches to the emergency channel and transmits the Radio ID five times.

Each sheriff's station has a Dispatch channel and a Local Tactical channel, each of which may be permanently shared with one or more other stations depending on the volume of station radio activity. Nearly all incidents and communications begin on a Dispatch channel. Local Tactical (or 'L-TAC') channels are used by units to communicate directly with one or more other unit from the same station without tying up the Dispatch channel. Area Tactical (or "A-TAC") channels are used to coordinate significant incidents requiring the participating of units from more than one station. Incidents or events that require countywide coordination use a Countywide Tactical (or 'C-TAC') channel. Each of five Mutual Aid channels covers a different part of the county and allows sheriff's units to coordinate with neighboring municipal police departments when one agency is assisting another.

NOTE: Mobile traffic is not rebroadcasted over the output frequency, only a beeping tone to signify to the field units that someone is talking. To monitor units in the field you must program in the input frequencies also.
