This from Dennis McGuire, Jr.
Starting in October, Lake County, Indiana fire departments and police departments will all be dispatched by one center. Motorola Solutions, Inc. and AT&T have been working on this for a year. Not all of the fire departments went online at once, but at the end of October all departments will be under the new center. I believe the center is located in Crown Point, Indiana. The numbering system is as follows:00 = Stations01-09= Officers10-19= Engines20-29= Trucks30-39= Rescues40-49= Tankers50-59= Specialty Units60-69= Ambulances70-79= Brush trucks80-99= Individual department membersThe following is a partial list of the departments and their assigned number(s):1200-Cedar Lake1500-Crown Point1800 to 2100-Dyer2200-Munster2500-East Chicago3100 to 3300-Griffith4100 to 4800-Hammond5100 to 5200-Highland5300 to 5600-Hobart5800-Lake Dale5900-Lake Hills6100-Lake Ridge6300 to 6400-Lake Station6600 to 6800-Lowell6900-New Chicago7000 to 7400-Merriville7500 to 7700-St. John7800 to 800-Schererville8200-Schnieder8300-Shelby8400-Whiting8500 to 9900-GaryDennis

Could you or would you give me the new frequency for Hammond police and fire ?

Hammond is on a private frequency that cannot be programmed into regular scanners.

The entire County is on a New P25 Phase II trunking system. Most tone outs for the fire departments that have switched over are on the old Lake County Sheriffs main dispatch freq. 154.815 PL 192.8

As of 10/19/15 3:00 a.m Gary Fire Department went live with Lake County Dispatch. The radio frequencies that were being used prior to 10/19/15 are no longer being used.

Can you provide a list of the new frequencies?
Thanks in advance.

When will this be going into effect? Also, will the towns keep their current frequencies or will they all be consolidated into one channel like other divisions?
