Police radio - Cooperating ARPD.

[Nancy_Parker]

Why SAPD don't use police radio? You are all in TS or CB channels. I know that TS is faster but current radio communication is mostly used by freecops. It would bring back cooperation between SAPD departments, FBI and ARPD.

[Nexus Riggs]

I use both, maybe we need chiefs to enforce it into stricter law.

[Bert]

You will get "lost" when all the people that usually talk in ts or cb will talk only on the police radio

[Nancy_Parker]

I dont really think so, at the moment there is one line of radio chat per 10 line mostly. Expect c30 or any bigger situations. Thats where ARPD officers can learn from us.

[Joseph_Allen]

I use both.

TS for my Patrol Partners, and /r for the rest of SAPD.

As he told. I use the radio frequently.

[Nancy_Parker]

But you are mostly reporting and other stuff in CB or TS right?

TS/ CB first, then radio, to let the others know.

Actually, I rely on reports from fellow Officers and track down suspects instead.

[J. Prilo]

TS is there for a reason, Nancy.

[Hank_Rafferty]

The main police radio stands for communication between the police departments. (DPD,LSPD,LVPD,SFPD)

The cb radios are being used for regular patrol reports by the local PDs.

Eg.: "LVHP1 patroling Redsands East, code14".

Such report is not usefull generally for SAPD.. but its usefull for the LVPD patrol leaders to know where are his units.
If you want team work, then chose a Local police department.. use their channel, use their TS room, and RP a cop.

For me TS is preferred when operating alone or is a specialized squad. Such as fast paced situations etc.

But for long hauls like busts and 207s etc, radio and cb works pretty well.

[Sago]

Rather type and keep up with a suspect then type and loose him in 2 seconds flat

[Sushi]

What Kirby said.

[TinMan]

I agree with Kirby. Sometimes you can't drive while pursuing when you have a suspect up ahead driving in a buffalo. Teamspeak is faster communication and you can still drive and talk at the same time without slowing down.

Yes. Even if you can't speak, you can still listen. If ARPD is willing to mandate this as an agency policy, then I will gladly do the same with ARFD. It would promote better cooperation within departments, and with outside law enforcement and emergency service agencies.

Honestly if everyone can see both the /r radio and hear the TS speech, then there shouldn't be an issue. You can keybind to allow for multiple channels, in which case restrictions can be set for only one user to speak at a time. This would prevent spams of speech, and would allow for situations that call for it to apply to it's respectful radio system.

[Jcstodds]

  I get told off by ARPD officers when I use the radio 

[Ben Hells]

I majority use /r however I do use /cb when other SFPD officers online.. but still situations broadcaster ed  over /r

[Hank_Rafferty]

tonight there will be a new rule for radio usage..... expect the announce after 22:00 CET.

There are a couple police officers playing on Argonath with a serious hearing problem. That's one of the reasons why the TS thing is not manditory. That's why it probably never will be aswell.

Get a partner and you can use text-based communications perfectly fine, without needing things like TeamSpeak...
