LEERN End of Life

With all Central Ohio law enforcement agencies now on 800mhz and a common radio template coordinated so everyone has access to operational talk-groups, the patch to the state’s Law Enforcement Emergency Radio Network or LEERN is being discontinued. Officers and agencies are encouraged to do directly to the dispatch or TAC channel to contact an agency. When requesting the Chopper from CPD, they will come directly to your agency talk-group for communication. LEERN will be removed from the template during the next reprogramming.

We also have LAW MUTUAL , located in zones 6 and 9, used/monitored by all agencies in Delaware County, NRECC agencies and Worthington PD. The equivalent in Franklin County would be SO-25 which can be found in zone 28. Most importantly, your dispatcher can set you up on one of the many regional TAC talk-groups that are available for inter-agency use.

This will be effective at 0600 on November 1st.

Dublin Key Staff Radios

Key Staff TemplateStarting Monday 11/14, we will begin reprogramming the XTS-2500 radios that city staff have, with the exception of police.

These radios are mostly in use by crew leaders and supervisors/management staff.

If someone has one of these radios, they can drop them off on Monday at the service center between the hours of 1000-1400 or Tuesday and Wednesday between the hours of 1000-1400 at NRECC.

Information and updates will be found here.

Key Staff Template

Post Migration

On Monday 10/24, a meeting was held at NRECC to discuss the post migration template.

Present were Paul Richmond and Kris Harris (NRECC), Captain Pat Mulligan (Worthington Fire), Chief Mark Kidd (Pleasant Valley Fire) and Lieutenant George Sorge (NTFD). Lieutenant Kevan Redman (WTFD) was away at a meeting.

A tentative template was agreed on that will serve all agencies.

Columbus Fire went back to the drawing board and made revisions to their template, which is the base for ours. Our standardized template will be posted later this week when the Columbus fire revisions are included.

If you have any questions, please contact Paul Richmond.

Radio Programming – Feb 27th

On Friday February 27th, NRECC’s Paul Richmond will complete programming radios at Washington Twp Fire. COIRS is updating the radio templates to accommodate the move by Madison County Fire, Pleasant Valley Joint Fire District and Union County Fire agencies to the MARCS 7x platform. In addition, the new Columbus Fire new talk group plan, new NRECC back up talk groups and other minor changes will be added.
