Tentative LAPD Frequency Reconfiguration

Effective Summer 2004 ??

For the first time since 1982, LAPD is realigning some of their dispatch frequencies, to give every patrol area and traffic division its own dispatch frequency and RadioTelephone Operator ("RTO"). For over two decades, due to a shortage of available frequencies, dispatch consoles, and RTOs, it has been necessary for many divisions to be doubled up on a single frequency. New equipment, more operators, and a second dispatch center make this improvement possible.

These "new" frequencies have been drawn from the former "Bureau Tactical" frequencies. Each Bureau Tac 1 and 2 will remain in use as such. Bureau Tac frequencies 3, 4, and 5, which have been temporarily utilized as extra bureau tacs, will revert to their intended usage and become new dispatch channels for those areas and divisions that have been paired for (too many) years.
