Scanner Feed Down
The Fremont Police Dispatch scanner feed has been taken down and will remain down until the situation at the police department is over. Allied agencies were not able to communicate with FPD on their encrypted radio channel forcing everyone to use the main dispatch channel. The commander in charge of the officers watching over several hundred protesters at the PD on Stevenson was frustrated that the crowd could hear him issuing tactical commands. At that point the feed was taken down. However, they ended up passing Fremont radios to the other agencies. This multi million dollar system was developed after Sept 11, 2001 and was intended for agencies to be able to talk to each other. They could do that, but not on scrambled channels. In any event, the scanner will remain off the air in case police operations return to their main channel.

Thank you for being considerate and supportive of FPD&all in these difficult times.
ReplyDeleteI have an old pro-668 scanner.
If appropriate, might someone post the relevant scanner frequencies? Thank you and be safe. (Yes, I'm a 'newbie' at this)
Likewise. I'm finding the feed very informative and heard the commander's frustration that 600 people were listening in on the commands.
DeletePlease keep up the good work.
Unfortunately you will need a $500 digital phase 2 scanner to hear police and fire in Alameda/Contra Costa Counties. This keeps a lot of non hobbyists in the dark. You could hear CHP 44.94 Mhz and Regional Parks 44.76 on your old scanner.
