EMPHASIS: Troop B Conducting Radio Coverage Survey


Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, would like to make the citizens of Troop B aware of a radio coverage survey. Patrol members and retired Patrol personnel will be conducting a radio coverage survey on new communications equipment for the entire Troop B area in Northeast Missouri. The survey must be done on every road and area to ensure overall system performance and is scheduled to begin in the Troop B area on August 13, 2012. 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 B. The unmarked vehicles are occupied by one Patrol member or a retired Patrol employee and an employee from the Motorola Company. The field testing is expected to last 40 days. For further information or questions, please call 660-385-2132
