Pike County 911

In May of 2008, all Pike County Fire, Police and EMS services moved to a new multi-channel, multi-site repeated radio system that compiles with NFPA standards for initial notification, coordination and tactical communications. All Fire, Police and EMS calls are answered by the 911 PSAP, and all agencies are paged over a common county-wide system on 155.100 from one of five localized transmitters. Paging is a mix of EIA 5-tone and conventional 2-tone. Pages are automatically replayed from the central transmitter after a 15-second delay.

One of two repeated command channels ALPHA (154.1000) or BRAVO (151.1300) is assigned to the incident and is used for mobile to base and mobile to mobile traffic for the duration of the incident. For fires, once command is established, all local incident tactical traffic is handled over one of the MABAS fire ground channels (normally FG-RED, 153.830), or a city channel (154.250 for Pittsfield, 154.515 for Pleasant Hill).

The Sheriff and city police all use the common repeated LAW channel (154.785) for all routine traffic. Voice encryption over the main channel is used for semi-secure communications. Law enforcement secure incident tactical traffic is handled over other unknown frequencies, using encrypted digital radios, and is not available.
