Natural Resource Districts

Just a side note here...> Here in Nebraska...we are "bass ackwards"... :-)� instead of DNR's...we have NRD's (Natural Resources District's), which are not part of State gvt. Each NRD has an elected board of directors , and usually covers about 4 or 5 counties. Nebraska has 23 NRD's , they are all independent of each other, and the majority of them do not even have radios. The NRD that resides in Omaha (Papio NRD),has the largest population, and their radio system *was* low band, but now they signed up on a trunk (business)800MHz system...they share the trunk system with plumbers, taxi cabs, lawn service....you name it. 860.1875 859.1875 858.1875 857.1875 856.1875 Sooo, if anybody wants to hunt for NRD frequencies in Nebraska, I would look for each NRD by name, some might be listed as gvt, and others could be listed as business??? for more info on NE NRDs visit Nebraska's NRDs - Happy hunting...now back to your regular scheduled program already in progress.

Omaha PD Code Controversey - 13 May 1999

Certain tactical information is NOT public.� *If* the code sheet containted this type of information then it was a violation for that.� If policy was to not disclose anything except via the PIO then this could have been the violation.

And having personally been involved in radio intercept work, I can tell you, most LE codes can be figured out given enough time.� But if say a code list included some tactical call signs and codes used by SWAT teams someplace in the list, then this is not a good thing to put into the paper or have known. The worst offenders are the officers and dispatchers who say, "Call Captain Jones on his Cell, its 555-1212" -giving a valid cell number out to *everyone* within range.� And if someone wants to clone up a working number?� Or program that number into an intercept unit in order to hear all calls to that phone within range?� Hmmmmm, I think *that* might pose a problem.

Omaha has allocated $21 million to build a 800Mhz TRS. (posted to fire radio and sonofrcma on 26Aug00) I believe that I have a newspaper article about this somewhere.
