"They are well prepared."Ī bike patrol is attractive cost-wise, as well, Webre said. "They have all the equipment they'd have (in a patrol unit), except for the laptop," he said of the officers on bikes. "There's been no downside," Webre said of the new bike patrol unit. Schexnayder and his fellow officer, Deputy Tyrus Cobb, brought the idea for the patrol to Chief Deputy Bobby Webre earlier this year. "If you plan how you're going to approach the subject, you can definitely have the element of surprise," said Deputy Sam Schexnayder, part of the eight-member Ascension Sheriff's Office bike patrol. The bikes have the advantage of being quiet, with the ability to navigate small places and make quick turns. The Sheriff's Office is also looking at the bike patrol as a new tool in the fight against car burglaries, a crime that's on the uptick in the fast-growing parish. Since the Sheriff's Office launched a new bicycle patrol three months ago, deputies on bikes have made several drug-related arrests, stopped a couple of fights that were brewing and been a new presence at large outdoor public events. 15, 2018, at the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office in Gonzales, La.Ī group of Ascension Parish sheriff's deputies have put aside the keys to their squad cars to take to a different set of wheels in the fight against crime. Let us know what you discover.BY ELLYN COUVILLION, The Baton Rouge Advocate, Aug|Īscension Parish Sheriff's Office Deputies Sam Schexnayder, left, and Tyrus Cobb demonstrate how they have been trained to use their bikes in the newly created parish-wide bike patrol unit, Wednesday, Aug. A hint, sometimes the radio will fall out of holding on that CCh when returning from a voice channel grant, so pressing the button when on the CCh may prove useful for holding on that system until you ID it if you press again, it will leave that CCh and continue to search. Compare the System ID's with what you can find here on the RR Database to determine what you are listening to, it may be that the internal DB of the Radio can help you here, as when it was built, they loaded all the systems we had here at RR to help ID systems in just such a search (meaning a name may come up instead of the SysID). When a CCh is encountered the radio will stop and generally hold on it displaying the type of system, the System ID and Site ID it will also jump to the Voice Channels as channel grants are given. Try this, set up a Custom Search using the upper & lower limits of the various frequencies that the Ascension system uses (maybe a little wider), set that search for CCh Only and then execute the search. Another possibility is that you have started using a specific frequency for MDT's or that they are using a specific TG for MDT's (since when this is the case the streams tend to stay pretty steady, they seldom leave one channel grant for another so it seems they stay on one) and of course you can't decipher them nor does the radio recognize it as anything it can identify.

Have you seen this happen? Another possibility is that indeed Ascension is moving to a P25 system (either LATIE or their own) and what you are hearing and not receiving is the P25 CCh, which would sound decidedly different from the Moto Type II CCh you have been used to hearing. On the 369T, if (while scanning the system) you are sent to an encrypted TG, the radio should display "ENC" and then resume scanning. There is no such thing as a "digital frequency", any frequency used can carry a digital stream indeed the control channel for the system is a digital stream.
