Worcester Police.
I have listed some of the
Worcester Police and Fire talk groups. The most commonly used police groups are
the two dispatch groups. Most of the other groups seem to be used for unit to
unit traffic. However, I don't live within listening distance of Worcester and
am out there only infrequently. For a more complete listing of Worcester talk
groups and other information I suggest you visit Rob Bellville's Central Mass.

All alarms are dispatched on
F-5 and initially operate on F-1.
Single company responses (including First Responder runs) stay on F-1.
Box alarms and multi-company
responses either go to F-2 (north end) or F-3
(south end), or F-4 if both
F-2 & F-3 are in use.
Each radio has the E-911
talk group (included in all city radios) and two event channels (Event A and
Event B)
which can be accessed by
multiple city agencies. The mutual
aid channel can be patched to 33.62/33.70 if requested. The simplex/talk around channel
(859.4875) is programmed in all FD radios (F-16, I think).
