The Interagency talkgroup is primarily used for communication between FD and EMS or PD and EMS.<br>
−
Ambulance service in the City of Worcester is provided by Worcester EMS aka UMass EMS. They operate on 462.950 110.9 with Paramedics 1 through 5 providing primary coverage to the city. P1, P2, P3, P4, P6 (Shrewsbury 911 truck) are 24 hours per day, and P5 is 1000-2200 Friday through Monday, 1000-0200 (in two, eight-hour shifts) Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Backup coverage is provided by various private companies.

The 911 Emergency talkgroup is in every city radio, as well as WRTA buses. It is monitored by a Fire Department dispatcher. It usually is used by DPW workers or WRTA drivers to report MVAs or medical emergencies.  During a recent disaster drill it was used for communication between the dispatcher and incident commander.
−
On 20 November 2009, Worcester EMS transitioned to the City's EDACS system, using the existing "EMS MED-9" cross-linked talkgroup as the primary channel, replacing their Motorola UHF mobiles and portables with M/A-COM hardware.  Other services can continue to communicate with Worcester EMS via the UHF MED-9 frequency.

Ambulance service in the City of Worcester is provided by Worcester EMS aka UMass EMS. They operate on 462.950 110.9 with Paramedics 1 through 5 providing primary coverage to the city. P1, P2, P3, P4, P6 (Shrewsbury 911 truck) are 24 hours per day, and P5 is 1000-2200 Friday through Monday, 1000-0200 (in two, eight-hour shifts) Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

The Interagency talkgroup is primarily used for communication between FD and EMS or PD and EMS.
The events channels are in every PD and FD radio. (maybe more?)
The 911 Emergency talkgroup is in every city radio, as well as WRTA buses. It is monitored by a Fire Department dispatcher. It usually is used by DPW workers or WRTA drivers to report MVAs or medical emergencies. During a recent disaster drill it was used for communication between the dispatcher and incident commander.


Airport Talkgroups

Airport vehicles also have access to 120.500 ORH Tower to talk to the tower while driving in/on the runway areas.

Other Non-Public Safety Talkgroups

Note there are numerous Talk Groups listed on other sites, most are inactive. It would take up too much space to list them all on this page. A lot of these TGs use informal communications (e.g. "Hey Bob!") and at the most refer to a "base" as dispatch (e.g. "Water Base"). Some of these TGs. have very brief communications and extreme bouts of inactivity. This is mainly due to the nature of their jobs not needing radio communications as much as public safety agencies, and the proliferation of cell phones for use by smaller city agencies.
