What's going on in Westfield?

[pjcalla]

I'm sitting in my office right now, and there are WPD and Hamilton County Sheriff cars/suvs buzzing all over the place. Police running, the have streets blocked off. Anyone know what's going on? I tried to find it on the scanner app, but cannot. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It seems like they are setting up a perimeter. Maybe they have the guy that robbed the Speedway on Sunday evening cornered?

Hamilton County recently went from a EDACS to a project 25 system (I think its actually shared with Marion county too). The App (or radio reference) probably doesnt yet have a user willing to stream it.... Or its tac channels which I dont think radio reference allows to be streamed..... Im trying to get my scanner updated with the newer information but havent found the time yet.

I haven't been following the radio issues. So, all of Hamilton county has abandoned the EDACS machine for a project 25 system? This take Carmel with it since they'd merged with Hamilton county? All the channels, including things like 08-030 school buses? I'm going to have to do some research, obviously.

Westfield schools on lockdown following bank robbery - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

Link says bank robbery, but the article says liquor store.

About 5 minutes ago, approx. 6-10 officers entered a house down the street. It the idiot that robbed the liquor store is in there, he didn't make it far...2 blocks.

Bank or Liquor Store? The news is confusing

Is that the new tactic to fight Sunday Sales? Combine liquor stores and banks?

Come to think of it, given the long-lasting effects of the Recession, that might not be a bad idea....

Appears most have gone already to the p25. From what I read though, some of the Fire/ems traffic still goes through the edacs. I think they were chasing some bugs

Ok, so we're having a disorderly transition that'll take some effort to follow. Great.
