Post subject:  Governors security detail

Members of the governors family were in Cambria this weekend. Heard the security detail on 460.450 simplex (127.3 tone) in the Cambria area and mobile through SLO.

Most comms were professional however one unit was unhappy he could receive only one station on the car radio and proceeded to share some mexican salsa music over the radio. It didn't help that the other units encouraged him to play more and turn up the volume... Either way it was nice to know I could enjoy some CB comms without having to bring a CB radio with me :bowrofl:

Good example of why not to give a security guard a gun.
Can't even handle a radio.

460.45 is primary & 460.375 is secondary channel - statewide. 460.025 is also used statewide -- but most often simplex. Units 5000 to 5059 are assigned to Governors Office. They also have access to all CHP channels. Most often heard units seem to be: 5044 to 5049. Some lists show a new channel of 460.0125 (M) -- but this channel is licensed to the State DOC (Dept of Corrections) and is used as an emergency and paging channel at most state prisons.

Thought the CHP handled that detail.

Oh. CHP.

Maybe you were right.

The CHP (traffic enforcement with full police powers - under section 830 - 840 CPC ) has merged with the former California State Police Dept. The CSP were on the UHF channels and protected all State Buildings and officials. Now it's just one big happy CHP. The CHP will remain on Low Band VHF -- with repeaters (Mobile Relays) added to each area and will equip each officer and vehicle with a 700 Mhz / 800 mhz radio.

Triple-A with a gun, Road Rangers, Concrete Commandos, and my personal favorite- Big Hat, No Elevator (a play on the blue stripe and the campaign hats).

PC§830.2 may make them Peace Officers but most cops don't think of them as cops- although the Chippers see it differently. Removing the Traffic Officer banner from the badge was an attempt to gain acceptance a true police agency.

Rodney King was proof to many cops at the time that the CHP are not street cops. They train differently and see the world from a much different perspective.

They did not merge with CSP, they ABSORBED CSP. Merging would be to admit that CSP had the same standing and prestige as the CHP. They put alot of the CSP guys through hell in that absorbsion.

The CHP sees itself as the State Police but in practice they are a specialty agency with several narrow areas of responsibility.

That said, the CHP performs a necessary and important mission in California. They put themselves in harms way for all of us on a daily basis and for that I am forever grateful.

I am also forever grateful for the hours of time at the hospital and the paperwork and show leather expended when they show up at the termination of a pursuit, put the wood to a suspect, and clear without a thought of identifying themselves, then wait for some outside agency shmoe to figure out who they are. Good times, KA4993 Y'all.

Just FYI to continue this topic - The governor was at the Mayweather/Marquez fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas this past weekend. Had 2 or 3 black SUV's in the motorcade. Two of them had UHF antennas on the roof. Searching the bands while they were there, I came across two frequencies of interest. 458.9500 MHz, 156.7 pl was active with what I thought might have been his detail. None of the previously noted UHF frequencies were active. And 465.4625 MHz, 203.5 pl was putting out short data bursts the whole time he was in the area. I have no idea if it was related to the governors visit, but it disappeared when the motorcade left the MGM area...

The entire CHP "UHF System" consists of the following frequencies: 460.375 R/M - Southern California, 460.45 R/M - Statewide, 453.20 R/M - Metro Sacramento, 453.825 R/M San Francisco Bay Area (Bay-1), 453.85 R/M - Bay Area (Bay-2), 460.025 R/M -- Statewide, Clemars UHF, and 460.25 R/M -- Cal State Poly Univ -- SLO and UC Santa Barbara. All use a receive PL tone of 127.3. 6 low powered frequencies are also in use "in and around Sacramento" for operations and security: 460.0875, 460.2125, 460.3375, 465.0875, 465.2125 and 465.3375. The 6 low powered channels are restricted to the Sacramento area only with a 10 watt power limit. While there are many other UHF channels licenced to the State of California, they are NOT part of the CHP -- or former California State Police radio system. 453.20 is used at the Fairview State Hospital in Costa Mesa -- for security -- but is NOT used by local CHP units.
