EMPHASIS: Troop E Conducting Radio Coverage Survey


Captain George E. Ridens, commanding officer of Troop E, Poplar Bluff, would like to make the citizens of Troop E 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 E area in Southeast 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 E. 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 573-840-9500.
