Plymouth County Sheriff's Office's Radio Network

Link to Radio References for Plymouth County

Local police departments in and around Plymouth County rely on the Sheriff's Department for a variety of services, such as BCI, K-9 and Field Services. All Sheriff's Department's vehicles and deputies while in the field are equipped with two-way Motorola radios capable of communicating back to the Department on their own direct channel. The deputies can also use the County-Wide Regional Radio Network that is maintained by the Sheriff's Department and connects all police departments from Hull to Mattapoisett.

Since Plymouth County includes 1 city and 26 towns, covering a large and varied geographic area, complete radio coverage is difficult to achieve. For this reason, the Sheriff's Department has constructed and maintains a radio network of base towers with repeaters and receiver sites in several towns throughout the county.
