WISCOM INFORMATION

You may at times hear transmissions from outside of Clark, Marathon, Portage, and/or Wood Counties. This, as some of the regional talkgroups on the WISCOM-P25 system cover large areas. Examples of this would be on the Wisconsin State Patrol channels, as the Wausau Post handles a large area which includes Marathon, Portage, and Wood Counties (plus others) and/or the Eau Claire Post that also handles a large area, which includes Clark County (plus others). Having said, WISCOM usage in Central Wisconsin is very limited. The system typically only has a high amount of radio traffic during a large scale prioirty incident - take for example, a wildland fire.

WSP UNIT IDENTIFIERS

Statewide WSP unit identifiers are based on the location/post of the assigned Trooper. For the purposes of this scanner feed, below are the common WSP unit identifiers you will hear on the WISCOM talkgroups for this area:

Northcentral - Wausau Post: 400-499

Northwest - Eau Claire Post: 600-699

Northwest - Spooner Post: 700-799

OTHER STATE AGENCY UNIT IDENTIFIERS ON WISCOM

During large scale incidents, mutual-aid units will speak in plain language to ensure that all listening persons can understand who they are, and what they are doing. Outside of large scale incidents, the following occasional users may be heard on WISCOM with the identifiers listed below:

Cxxx - DNR Conservation Wardens (likely heard a. All Law Enforcement Announcement channel and/or b. Credentialed Statewide channel and/or c. Department Common channel)

Rxxx - DNR Park Rangers (likely heard on a. Forestry Black River Falls Dispatch Group channel and/or b. Forestry Wisconsin Rapids Dispatch Group channel)

Jxxx - Dept. of Justice Agents (would be heard on Division of Criminal Investigation-Wausau channel)

COUNTY UNIT IDENTIFIERS

To help users better understand what they are listening to, as this scanner covers multiple counties, please see the below information which can help you identify what units you are hearing and where they may be located:

Wood County Law Enforcement

Units 100-199 = Marshfield Police Department

Units 300-399 = Any other department outside of Marshfield, Rapids or County (ie. Pittsville PD, etc.)

Units 400-499 = Wood County Sheriff’s Deputies*

*Note - in Wood County, the Sheriff’s Office unit identifiers conflict with the State Patrol unit identifiers, as the Wausau Post that covers Wood County, their Troopers are also sequenced #400-499. As such, when State Patrol communicates on a Wood County channel, they typically identify as “State” in plain language, as to not be confused with county units.

Units 800 - 899 = Wisconsin Rapids Police Department

Wood County Fire Department(s)

Wood County Fire Department units identify themselves in plain language. For example, “Marshfield Med. 98.” As such there is no unit identifier table for Wood County Fire Departments.

Portage County Law Enforcement

Portage County law enforcement is not broadcast from this scanner as they are encrypted channels. However, you may occasionally hear them transmit on Fire/EMS channels. Therefore, for your reference, below are Portage County Law Enforcement unit identifiers:

Units 100-199 = Portage County Sheriff’s Office

Units 200-299 = Stevens Point Police Department
