OPEN MESSAGE / FLASH / RADIOS DON'T WORK !!
An open message to:
Westmoreland Co. 911 Department of Emergency Management,
Westmoreland County Commissioners,
Staley Communications,
Penn Township Police,
All Other Police Departments, Ambulance Services, Fire Departments, and Other Users of this Multi-Million Dollar Radio System In Westmoreland County,
and to
All Residents of Westmoreland County, Pa. that PAID FOR THIS RADIO SYSTEM.
DATE: 19 JULY 2005
At approximately 2:23 AM, Penn Township car 1-76 called for 911.
No answer.
Twenty Seconds Later car 1-76 called for 911 again.
No answer.
Thirty Four Seconds Later car 1-76 called for 911 again.
No answer.
TWO MINUTES and Eleven Seconds Later car 1-76 called for 911 again.
No answer.
Eleven Seconds Later Penn Township car 1-72 called 911.
SEVEN Seconds Later 911 answered car 1-72.
Car 1-72 then explained “76 been calling you”
911 Responded “Ahhh, we can’t here him up here”
Car 1-72 said “Can here him out here, called you about five times”
911 Responded “Supervisors sitting right there too, can’t hear him”
The time stamp was 2:28 (am)
This has my trust in the new 911 Radio System DOWN TO ZERO.
If Penn Township Car 1-76 would have yelled 10-13 or officer down… would he still be down now ?
I am NOT putting the blame or pointing a finger at the Dispatcher on duty or the Supervisor sitting right there, but if 911 can’t hear a Police Car calling them, they have MAJOR RADIO PROBLEMS.
The condensed audio is available at

under audio clips. Most dead space was removed for downloading purposes however NO AUDIO WAS EDITED.
This is bad. Very bad.
