EMPHASIS: Troop E Conducting Radio Coverage Survey In Wayne County


Captain George E. Ridens, commanding officer of Troop E, Poplar Bluff, would like to make the citizens of Wayne County aware of a radio coverage survey. Patrol members and retired Patrol personnel are conducting the radio coverage survey on new communications equipment in Wayne County. 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 of Wayne County. The unmarked vehicles are occupied by one Patrol member or a retired Patrol employee and two employees from the Motorola Company. For further information or questions, please call 573-840-9500.
