63027 - seems related to the protests at the port of Tacoma

(http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories ... 427c4.html)

It's possible that this was PSOPS S4 patched to a King County PSOPS talkgroup. The paper said that Seattle PD was operating there as well. PSOPS S3 is 62992, so I assume that PSOPS S4 is 63024.

PSOPS S4 is active again right now, one person asked "take all encrypted traffic to tac 4" and "how many in the MCU tonite"

63024 is active along with LERN. I can verify WSP, SPD, and TPD traffic.
I have heard the same traffic talking about Tac 4 and Tac 5. I also heard a reference to PSOPS, but nothing like S-3 or S-4. The TPD dispatch stated she could not copy Tac 4 which probably isn't patched. Trunker shows 63024 is patched, so I assume Tac 5, LERN, and 63024 (PSOPS S-4?) are included in the patch. Tac 4 was for escort of Humvee's.

I ran trunker on KC/Valcom and found only LERN to be active. I may be wrong, but maybe if SPD selects PSOPS S-4 that their radios connect to the Tacoma system, thus not requiring a patch. This would apply to POS as well.

As a side note, I saw a Port of Seattle unit heading North from Tacoma on 21st SW in Federal Way this morning.
I checked Port of Seattle using trunker and found no activity while the above talk groups were active.

Just my observations, I will continue to monitor for a couple of hours.

Any other input would be appreciated.

Port of Seattle has there own trs system like Boeing.

He might have a take home car. I know of a Tacoma officer who took his car all the way home, to Chehalis.

I know that. I stated in my post that I monitored the Port of Seattle system to see if there was related traffic and there wasn't.

Right, I posted to the wrong quote

My response was for Renton.
I understood yours about the Port of Seattle officer having a take home car.
I think Renton missed the fact that I was monitoring the Port of Seattle trunk system as well.

I didn't intend to cause any confusion.
