The Boston Police Department
does not use any dispatch codes. All calls are given out in clear language.
They do however use service codes and Routine Miscellaneous Incident Reporting
Codes (Miscel Codes). Service codes are used for
Vehicle Maintenance, Lunch Breaks, Court, Etc. Miscel
Codes are used for clearing incidents for which no report is required. Finally,
they use codes for Arriving, Clearing, and Logging on and off the air.

Ambulance and
Channels 11 and 13 are receive only in mobile units.

Boston EMS is the 9-1-1
ambulance service for the City of
All Boston EMS BLS ambulances
and supervisor vehicles are equipped with Semi Automatic Defibrillators.
Boston and Massachusetts Port Authority Fire Departments act as first
responders and are also equipped with SAEDs. In
addition many private and public facilities in Boston have SAEDs
of their own. The Boston EMS training division provides Training and Quality
Control for all SAED users in the city.
All EMS response vehicles
have mobile computers installed. Most dispatch and response information
is transmitted by Mobile Work Station (MWS), which significantly reduces the amount
of voice traffic on the dispatch channels. Added future enhancements will
include digital mapping, and eventually report writing software. Work Stations
are commonly referred to as “MDTs” over the air.

The HAZMAT truck is housed at
Engine 22 in the South End. This unit is no longer staffed by the Rescue
Companies, but is staffed by Engine 22. Rescue company personnel are still
available for back up.
Most of the colleges and
universities in the Boston area operate police departments on their campuses.
The size and complexity of each department varies, with larger schools
generally having larger and more active departments. The larger schools send
their new officers to the same academy that municipal officers go to, while the
smaller schools mostly send their officers to an academy for campus police
officers run by the State Police.
I’ve listed the frequencies
for some of the larger departments below, along with notes where applicable.
Campus officers are sworn in as special police and as such have full police
powers. Their area or jurisdiction is all property owned by the institution and
often includes surrounding property.
Some information in this
section was used courtesy of www.scancapecod.us
In addition to their own
frequencies, most of the departments are equipped to operate on the BAPERN
channels, and some can operate on the frequencies of their municipal
department.
