A nearby police dept with Verizon went down last week. A local police department is fixing up their ham radio room. I suggest all citizens request their local police department prepare their ham radio RACES room for go time. And that the local police departments be recognized as final protectors of its residents and not roll over with the next set of mandates. Some police departments have been taught to follow their big screen directives from higher up who pass them enemy messages. Yaall better start demanding your local police department leadership be restored to center stage over that big white screen in the emergency response center.
