May 28, 2015 Stephen Krauchick

Wednesday, the firefighters and police in Fairfield were put to the test with four major calls that required their know how.  We asked them to see and endure somethings no one should have to see.  Through it all the professionals at the police and fire departments made their town proud, very proud.  But we as a town we have not returned the favor for their valor.  Both departments have been working without a contract.   I'd like to say the town of Fairfield have proven that they are anti-union.  But that isn't necessarily the case.  Every RTM member I spoke to said they would vote to approve any contract set before them.  The apparent person that is against the unions…

What Frequency Is Bridgeport Police On?

May 26, 2015 Stephen Krauchick

This is a question I get often, what frequency is the Bridgeport Police on.  Its the same frequency they have always been on, the difference is they are digitally encrypted so no scanner can hear the communications.   So how do I monitor them?  I have received special permission from the chief of police to purchase a modified Bridgeport Police radio.  It is a standard portable handheld Motorola radio.  It had to be modified so that if I key the microphone I cannot broadcast, and it only receives channel one (of six), the dispatch channel.  It wasn't cheap either, $1,500.  Fortunately local businessman Jeremy Brock from Recover MyFlashDrive.com came to our rescue and purchased it in exchange for advertising.  Jeremy was…
