base stations to enhance and extend the mobile communications. The 16 channels are divided into five main categories; Dispatch, Response, Command, Firegrounds & Field Operations. Individual agencies and departments can request their own frequency utilizing the UHF band.
Dispatch, Response, Command and Field Operations have repeater sites at Clove Tower (Union Vale
), Illinois Mountain Tower (Highland
), Silver Mountain Tower (Town of North East
), Hosner Mountain Tower (East Fishkill
), Depot Hill Tower (Beekman/Poughquag) and Woody Row Tower (formerly Milan Tower in Milan
). Beginning on December 1, 2008; Dutchess 911 began simulcasting their Fire/EMS Dispatch channel on all towers allowing a call that's dispatched to be heard equally in all areas of the county, without any audio loss.
Firegrounds, which are used for multi-agency coordination and can be requested by a Fire Chief

. For instance, 11-19 is a Fire Engine. 21-29 is also a Fire Engine. 31-39 are Tankers (aka water tenders). There are other apparatus types with numbers ranging up to 99, however not all are listed here in this article.
Example, agency code number 32, would mean that it is Arlington, and then 45 means the apparatus is a Ladder. The final product looks like this: 32-45
EMS providers formerly utilized a similar numerical designation system as mentioned above for Fire Departments, but the number of ALS and BLS units present in the county exceeded the limits set forth in the numbering system, and transitioned into an Agency Name (i.e. NDP, TransCare, etc), Unit Type (ALS Ambulance {Medic Unit}, BLS Ambulance, ALS Flycar), and Unit Number. As an example, Mobile Life Support Services uses numbers in the 200 range, and would call out as "Mobile Life Medic 2xx". TransCare uses a similar format, however they have a much greater range of numbers. Beacon Volunteer Ambulance Corps (BVAC) is the only EMS Agency in Dutchess County that is still officially assigned numbers such as those for the Fire Departments, such as Beacon Volunteer 82-72 (82 is the Agency ID and numbers in the 70's range signifies a BLS
unit) or 82-89 (82 is the Agency ID and numbers in the 80's range signifies an ALS
unit).
Fire and EMS agencies use the 4 digit number system mentioned above, whereas some Police
use their agency name rather than a department or agency code. For example, Town of Hyde Park Police are referred to as "Hyde Park Car xx". The Dutchess County Sheriff would use an identifier of "DC69", the DC stands for Dutchess County, and the 69 represents the unit number.
The New York State Police
use a variety of identifiers, such as 1Kxx, 2Kxx, 7Kxxx as well as others. The first number can designate which barracks they are based out of, or, if they are a unit assigned to a township (some towns "contract" out for coverage as they do not have a Police Department of their own). The 'K' represents that the unit's main reporting Troop, is NYSP Troop K.
