[Scan-DC] Montgomery 9-Kings renumbered

Tue Feb 17 03:25:34 EST 2009

I had noticed in the last week or 2 that the K-9's had been switched over,  I 
also don't know when it occurred, but it's interesting none-the-less. I  
don't understand the new numbering system either. As far as the numbers used to  
go, in seemed a seniority thing or how long they had been around the county, or 
 perhaps what rank they held on the team. But I will be interested if anyone  
finds out more on this. They have always struggled with the issue of always  
having a dog working at all times.

I know when the retired high-ranking MCP officer retired and took over the  
Gaithersburg City PD job, they went from the 9-delta-units to the Victor units  
that would put them more inline with the county system. 3-victor-10 is shift  
Sgt, 4-Victor-3 would be a shift 4 unit assigned to cover beat 3. That sort 
of  thing. But I don't know how they break of the areas of the city. Seems 
often  they run calls with the Paul and Robert units from MCP that cover the same  
areas. 

For Fire Station 22 - I had put a post on here, but for those of you that  
missed it, here is what I posted:

MCFRS will begin service from FS 22, Kingsview / West Germantown, on Sunday  
February 1, 2009 at 0700. E 722 will be staffed as a four person company with  
Advanced Life Support capability and staffing. This service delivery model 
will  allow for rapid response to both fire and Emergency Medical Service 
incidents.  On March 1st, we will begin providing EMS transport service with A 722. 
This is  an exciting time for MCFRS as we continue to grow and meet the 
challenges of the  up county area. A formal grand opening ceremony will be held on 
March 13, 2009  at 1100. Please stop by and take a look at the newest fire 
station in the MCFRS  family.

And for the Station 28 issue - I found this on the The Watch Desk  site:

Here was the official email that went out  :

From: Goldstein, Scott 
To: Graham, Scott 
Sent: Fri Nov 28  13:07:39 2008
Subject: Temporary Fire Station 28 

Beginning  Sunday, November 30, FS28 will begin roof replacement, a 1 month  
project.

This will result in the temporary relocation of  personnel to 8673 Grovemont 
Circle 

Because this facility can  only sleep a total of 4 personnel, Chief Lohr has 
decided to reallocate  resources at FS28. 

Essentially

A728 will be  stored at FS8 and then move to TFS28 from the hours of 0800 to 
2000. A728 will  then return to FS8 for the remainder of the night. 

A708B will  operate from FS8 as normal flex unit hours. 

The DOC office has  decided the easiest way to accomplish this is as follows:

· The  two personnel assigned to FS28 on the EMS unit will report to FS08 and 
staff  A728 beginning Sunday at 0700. The HazMat requirements will follow 
these  personnel and they will support the HazMat team from FS08.

· The  upstaff recommendation for FS28 and A708B will be temporarily removed, 
so the  station will not be upstaffed during the roof repair.

It  will be incumbent upon personnel assigned to FS28 to check Telestaff to 
assure  they are reporting to the right place each day.

Been  meaning to mention, a couple of weeks ago (not sure when!), the 
Montgomery  County Police canine units' radio calls changed.  Formerly they had  
numbers like 9-King 17, 9-King 23 (I've never figured out the significance, if  
any, of the number after the 9-King part).  Now, they are Canine 17 and  Canine 
23.

Also, for anyone who may have missed it,  Fire Station 22 opened about 3 
weeks ago - I can't remember whether there was  something posted here... it's near 
the intersection of Route 118 and Route  117, or Germantown Road and Clopper 
Road (same place!), on Germantown Road I  believe.  (Germantown area, of 
course).

Finally, apparently  Station 28 (on Muncaster Mill Road at Shady Grove Road) 
has been temporarily  relocated while its roof is being replaced... I 
_believe_ they are operating  out of a warehouse somewhere off Oakmont Avenue (Dakota 
Drive?).  Oakmont  Avenue is just east of Route 355 (Frederick Road) off Shady 
Grove  Road.
