[Scan-DC] VSP blue 7

[John Wilson]

Blue 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 typically are used for any event which 
requires VSP assets involving one or more mobiles for a special 
assignment and providing an advantage of not "tieing up"  TAC 
frequencies.  Some past examples in Div 1 have been security escorts on 
I64/I95 for a prison buses convoy from Chesapeake transferring prisoners 
temporary from one institution, possibly Caroline CC as a result of 
heavy rains causing a serious threat of flooding at the Chesapeake CC.  
A classic example was the time when Obama visited Richmond. Although a 
helicopter ride would have been about a 10 minute flight from the 
Richmond airport to his destination at Prince George industrial park 
which had a large open field across from the entrance, instead a vehicle 
convoy was used.  This required multiple VSP units having to 
block/reopen interstate intersections over the entire route going and 
returning to Richmond.  The timing of the convoy also included school 
dismissal times with many school buses which use I295 having to wait 
until the convoy passed.  Things got worse.  Somehow probably the never 
known why but an old pickup truck managed to enter I295 in the 
prohibited interstate blocked section. I'm not sure if VSP ever figured 
out how it happened but it did. Another example is traffic control for 
the annual state fair in Caroline Co.  The event may and will vary from 
division to division.
