Locally I know that Westover ARB (MA) Fire Department can access the local 
Fire Coordination Net on 154.28.   I am not sure about the Security Police 
having base radio access to the Law Enforcement Coordination Nets 
(155.475/460.225).    Westover ARB is the primary response to any aircraft 
fire or security incidents on the airfield.   The Massachusetts State Police 
also has a responsibility for response.  Local PD (Chicopee) additional have 
a responsibility.

As far as Barnes ANGB (MA), the Base Fire Department not only has access to 
the local area Fire Coordination Net (as above) but also has access to the 
Westfield FD's (154.43) repeater system.   I am not sure about the Security 
Police having access to the Law Enforcement Nets (as above).   Barnes ANGB 
is the primary response to any airport fire incidents.  Security is 
primarily for the assigned military aircraft & facilities.  The 
Massachusetts State PD as well as Westfield PD are primarily responsible for 
all other security responses.

At Bradley ANGS (CT), the Base Fire Department has access to the Bradley FD 
system (453.50) and the Security Police (contracted and active duty) have 
access to the CT State PD Troop W 800 mhz digital trunking system.   I am 
also assuming that they both have access to the various coordination nets 
(FD 154.265) and (PD 460.075).  Bradley ANG is a secondary response to an 
aircraft incidents on the field.  Security is responsible for their 
appropriate flight line areas & base facilities.

Generally also as far as Westover & Barnes go -- It appears to me that 
telephone coordination is used primarily by the security police rather than 
radio communications.

So what are others finding in their monitoring efforts?
