County Wide Public Safety Talkgroups (PSOPS S1/S2/N1/N2): There are four talkgroups for regional public safety cross discipline communication. Two are identified for primary use in the north end of King County, PSOPS N1 (Public Safety Operations North One) and PSOPS N2. Two are identified for primary use in the south end of King County, PSOPS S1 and PSOPS S2. Although primarily identified for north and south use, all of these talkgroups can be used by public safety agencies anywhere in King County if needed. This talkgroup can be monitored by a dispatcher and recorded by demand only. Pierce County Public Safety Talkgroups (PSOPS S3/S4): This system includes two talkgroups for public safety cross discipline communication within Pierce County. King County units responding into Pierce County switch to the talkgroup identified by the communication center to be patched into the tactical talkgroup if appropriate. Valley Com does not have the capability to monitor or record PSOPS S3 or PSOPS S4. Snohomish County Public Safety Talkgroups (PSOPS N3/N4): This system includes two talkgroups for public safety cross discipline communication within Snohomish County. King County units that respond into Snohomish County switch to the talkgroup identified by the communications center and will be patched to the tactical talkgroup if appropriate. Only departments that are located north of I-90 are required to have PSOPS N3 and PSOPS N4, but any department may opt to program them into their radios. Valley Com does not have the capability to monitor or record PSOPS N3 or PSOPS N4.
