EMPHASIS: Troop D Conducting Radio Coverage Survey

Captain Juan Villanueva, commanding officer of Troop D, Springfield, would like to make the citizens of Troop D aware of a radio coverage survey. Patrol members and retired Patrol personnel are conducting the radio coverage survey on new communications equipment for the entire Troop D area in Southwest Missouri. The survey must be done on every road and area to ensure overall system performance. At times, citizens will observe unmarked patrol vehicles traveling at a very slow rate of speed in some of the more rural areas in Troop D. The unmarked vehicles are occupied by one Patrol member or a retired Patrol employee and two employees from the Motorola Company. The field testing is expected to last 40 days. For further information or questions, please call 417-895-6868.
