Court House - MTPD purchased a million dollar 700MHz radio system for the police department. They said in an article in the Herald that they have spots where transmissions were not getting through. You lie. I have been throughout Cape May County and never once had an issue hearing MTPD on their VHF frequencies. They say this new radio system is for police, fire, EMS, and municipal government. Why is Middle EMS on the old police channel repeater? Aren't you concerned about their safety of fire/EMS within the communications realm? You just don't want the broadcasts heard outside the department.

Moderator's Note: 
There is a complete explanation of the radio problems and letters from officers and dispatchers outlining the troubles they had on MTPD's website.
