    I'm no where near Putnam County, and had no part in providing that information to Radio Reference. Whatever is there was provided by scanner folks down in that area. You'll have to verify this with someone down there. All I have done is pointed you at a very useful resource.

    I understand. Hoping that there is somebody else on the forum that might know.

    Thanks for that. That answers most of my questions.

    I still have a question about Channel 5. Radio reference shows a transmit and receive frequency as the same, but I don't think they are since channel 6 is the same frequency. Is that frequency what is written down as Channel 13? is that the transmit frequency for Channel 5?

    I'm working on updating my department's radio lists and was looking for a little help.

    I found this on the Radio Standard Operation Procedure issued by the Putnam BES

    Channel 1 46.38 - Dispatch only

    Channel 2 46.50 - Fireground Operations

    Channel 3 46.30 - Fireground Operations

    Channel 4 46.04 - Fireground Operations

    Channel 5 46.44 - (Receive) Putnam 911 to Mobile Operations

    (Transmit) Mobile to Putnam 911

    Channel 6 46.44 - (Transmit & Receive) Mobile to Mobile

    Channel 7 46.10 - Fire Ground 7

    Channel 13 46.54 - (Receive only) Monitor Mobiles Talking to Putnam 911

    154.4375 Countywide High band

    155.340 Ambulance/Putnam Hospital communications

    155.400 Ambulance/Hospital alternate frequency

    155.220 Ambulance Hudson Valley Hospital

    155.280 Ambulance/Unassigned

    155.205 GVAC Dispatch, Putnam Valley Ambulance Dispatch, Philipstown VAC Dispatch (EMS)

    Can someone provide me with the transmit frequencies and the PLs for each of these channels. I also could use a little more information for what each channel is used for. Thank you

    I think the name of the course is ERTBC. It stands for Emergency Response to Terrorism-Basic Concepts

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, correct your post if I'm right.

    Thanks

    Its not my class so I'm no 100% sure of the name, a different instructor teaches it. The original flyer that was made has the name as "Incident Response to Terrorist Bombings - AWR-130." Really couldn't tell you if it goes by another name.

    I agree with wiscems, have some follow up questions. Definitly shows interest. The question I always ask is what is something to the extent of what are the next steps from here. This hopefully will get you a time table of when they are planning on conducting more interviews, appointing someone, or getting back in contact with you. This way you know if they will be calling you when you get back home or two weeks later.

    I also set up an email address that I use primarily for job interviews. It is professional (first name last name) instead of your common email that may be a little less formal or professional.

    I also was told that when they (interviewers/employer/supervisors) call you not to answer the phone. Let it go to voicemail. Listen to the voicemail. This may give you some clues as to why they are calling so you can prepare yourself. And call them back when you are in a quiet place, with a pen and paper, and ready to answer questions. This way when they want you to write something down you don't have to fumble around or your not in a place that sounds like you have a rock concert in the back ground. Also, with this, make sure that your voice mail is professional for when it rings through.

    If possible, before the interview, try and find out how many people will be interviewing you. Make a packet for each of these interviewers with a copy of your application, your resume, cover letter, and any other items you may need (copy of your EMT car) and put it in a nice folder or envelope. This way you can give them a copy when you start your interview, even though they may have a copy. And always have an extra copy in case there is more than the anticipated interviewers there and if not you can always use that copy for yourself as if you planned it that way.

    And finally, try and be as relaxed as possible, while still staying professional. Going to an interview is stressful anyway you look at it. But, if you are well prepared, well dress, and confident in yourself it will be a much better experience for you and it will be noticed in a positive way by your interviewers. This is not to be interpreted, though, to be overconfident and cocky.

    To: New York State Law Enforcement Executives

    From: Missing Persons Clearinghouse

    Date: September 12, 2013

    Subject: Missing Persons Toolbox Training

    Incidents of missing persons with autism, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia who tend to
    wander or become lost are on the rise. One in eighty-eight children are now diagnosed with
    autism and an alarming new study shows that nearly half of them will wander or elope from a
    safe environment. "Elopement is one of the very few problems in autism that is life-threatening,"
    says pediatrician Paul Law, senior author of the study and director of the Interactive Autism
    Network (IAN) Project, a national autism database headquartered at the Kennedy Krieger
    Institute in Baltimore. "It is probably one of the leading, if not the leading, causes of death in
    children with autism," he says. In addition, 60% of people with Alzheimer’s disease will wander
    with studies showing the need to act quickly in these cases because more than 50% will suffer
    serious injury or death if not located within 24 hours.

    Successful resolution of these types of cases requires law enforcement agencies to preplan
    and develop partnerships with local, county, state and volunteer organizations which can aid
    with search and rescue operations. Extensive research has been conducted regarding behavioral
    patterns and profiles of this vulnerable population which enables agencies to efficiently direct
    their resources when conducting searches. The NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services -
    Missing Persons Clearinghouse is pleased to announce a series of Missing Persons Toolbox
    Training seminars at various locations throughout the state.

    This free one day seminar, presented by Missing Persons Clearinghouse staff, focuses on
    missing person cases which involve both urban and rural searches with an emphasis on people
    with special needs, such as autism, Alzheimer’s and dementia. It includes a brief overview on
    the NYS AMBER Alert, Missing Child Alert, Missing College Student Alert and Missing
    Vulnerable Adult Alert programs. The afternoon session provides tools and resources necessary
    to conduct successful search and rescue operations with presentations conducted by
    representatives of the following agencies: NYS Department Environmental Conservation Forest
    Rangers, NYS Federation of Search and Rescue, New York State Police Aviation and New York
    State Police Canine Unit. This is a great opportunity for law enforcement agencies to create
    partnerships and develop or update their protocols for these types of incidents.

    Topics include:
     Identifying specific search method (s) based on special need of victim
     Understanding the importance of an immediate response
     Statistical find locations
     Incident Command System
     Wilderness searches
     Managing volunteers
     Urban searches
     Search Tactics/Reflex Tasks
     Project Lifesaver (live demonstration)
     NYSP Canine Unit
     Utilizing air resources – NYSP Aviation
     AMBER, Missing Child, College Student and Vulnerable Adult Alerts

    The target audience includes supervisors, first responders, communications personnel and all staff involved in missing persons cases.

    Locations for 2013:
    Washington County – September 25 Cancelled
    Cattaraugus County – October 16
    Rockland County – October 22
    St. Lawrence County – November 5 (new date)
    Schenectady County – November 13 (new)
    Onondaga County – December 11

    Although we are planning for a large enrollment, seating will be limited. You must, therefore, receive confirmation of acceptance to attend. You must use the application to register. It can be downloaded by clicking here, or by going to the DCJS training calendar and scroll to the date preferred and download it from the website itself. The calendar is located at: http://calendar.dcjs.state.ny.us/

    If you have any questions concerning the training please contact Senior Training Technician Raymond Neves at the address in the letterhead, by email at raymond.neves@dcjs.ny.gov or by telephone at 800-346-3543.

    Recently my department formed a committee to review the types of trucks we buy. The initiative is to try an reduce the number of trucks in the department while still providing a similar level of service. Currently we operate 5 engines, 4 tank trucks, 4 mini-pumpers, 1 ladder, one rescue, and some support vehicles out of four different firehouses. I was assigned the task of looking into combination vehicles, i.e. pumper-tankers and rescue-engines. What I am asking is for anybody with any experience with these combination trucks, or better yet went from single use to combination use trucks, to give their opinions on them. I wankt to know what you liked, didn't like, etc.
