Radio Communications

Prior to the switchover to 800 MHz, police and fire communications were on VHF radio frequencies, of which are summarized in the table below:

FREQUENCY	DESCRIPTION
155.670		Wailuku Patrol
155.580		Molokai Patrol

As you can tell, this list is incomplete, please contact me if you have any old information!

In Summer 2001, most county agencies, which include police, fire, lifeguards, animal control, and public works, have switched operations to the 800 MHz LTR Multi-Net II trunked radio system.

More information about this radio system can be found here.

Radio Call Signs

For patrol operations, Maui police call signs consists of three parts: the district number, a watch designator, and a master beat.

District Number

Always the first part of the call sign, ranging from 1 through 6.

Watch Designator

The second part of the call sign, which can have A, B, C, D, or E (see below for watch schedules).  This designation is used most often during shift changes in order to differentiate similar units -- (i.e. 1A21 from 1B21).  The letter designation is seldom used during the actual shift itself when there is no shift change.

Master Beat

The third part of the call sign, denotes the units primary area of patrol.  The first digit in the beat number is the sector number.

Other Call Signs

CALL SIGN	DESCRIPTION
T (Tango)	Traffic Units
Z (Zulu)	Community Policing?

Supervisors use three-digit call signs on the air

Work Schedules

Patrol officers work one of three main shifts, called Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie.  In Wailuku and Lahaina districts, there are swing-shift watches called Delta and Echo.

WATCH			START	END
Alpha (Midnight)	2315	0715
Bravo (Day)		0715	1515
Charlie (Evening)	1515	2315
