I will be replacing a few “Drivecam” vehicle recording devices. I did not realize there were so many cameras to choose from for vehicle/operator recording. I no longer wish to use the “Drivecam” company and wanted to know if anyone was using a different brand and their thoughts on the equipment. Particularly interested in video and audio recording, as well as two views, windshield and operator. Thanks,EdSee More

I suppose if the county controls the licensing of the radio station they can control the use. I would assume the county is a cooridinator and not controller of…"
Scott McCowan replied to Edgar Grant's discussion Tac Medic Radio Communications in the group Tactical Medicine"At our agency EMS and LEO work off of the 800mhz frequency so we had dispatch program the EMS radios to the necessary freq. We also have a firefighter assigned to the team and he borrows a radio for training and call outs. Have you thought about…"
Tim replied to Edgar Grant's discussion Tac Medic Radio Communications in the group Tactical Medicine"Ed,

carl w french replied to Edgar Grant's discussion Tac Medic Radio Communications in the group Tactical Medicine"I and the other medic were issued radios by the PD.

Edgar Grant replied to Edgar Grant's discussion Tac Medic Radio Communications in the group Tactical Medicine"Yes, we are using 800 MHz.

Skip Kirkwood replied to Edgar Grant's discussion Tac Medic Radio Communications in the group Tactical Medicine"This is one that your tactical team leader needs to resolve for you. You are operating as prt of a law enforcement unit and proper communications are a necessity. Maybe the cops need to give you one of their radios.
Our TEMS medics always carry two…"
William Caruso replied to Edgar Grant's discussion Tac Medic Radio Communications in the group Tactical Medicine"i am a non LEO Tac Medic, and we have the normal police channels even without being on a Tec team, when I was assigned to the team my radio was programmed with our SWAT channel"

Tac Medic Radio Communications
This past year two paramedics have been added to our local police tactical unit. The medics have been well received and are considered a vital member of the team by the officers. The medics train regularly with the team. Unfortunately, there is one critical issue that is creating a serious concern to me and my medics,. The medics only have one radio channel to operate on to communicate to the other team members and uniformed officers. This channel is an abscure channel that is not used on…See More

Edgar Grant replied to Royce Terry's discussion Lets See Some Pics Of Your Ambulance's"I guess it would help if I added the pictures."
Edgar Grant replied to Skip Kirkwood's discussion Dead but alive......."I conclude that the assessment or the conformation that the patent is dead is a part of why these types of mistakes occur, but as Ducan noted situations can lead a paramedic to make hasty conclusion. In fact from my own experience I find that…"
