wvjtws w 8fwe wibune toesdaymavl2el998 r v v s jf st j york force needs communication upgrades by rick vanderlinde staff writer they say lightning never strikes the same place twice but york regional police arent taking any chances last summer two of the forces radio antennas were knocked out after lightning struck a king township tower it was the first time in 25 years that light ning has crippled the forces radio transmis sions i dont know if it was because of el nino or what but its never happened to us before insp bruce herridge said when the lightning struck radio transmis- police sions were compromised for about two days while the antennas were replaced the force plans to make sure it doesnt happen again by placing redundant antennas at a lower level on the tower if the top antennas are knocked out the others will take over its part of an overall plan to boost the forces radio transmission capabilities in the face of increased white noise in the atmos phere the market has been flooded with cellu lar phones and pagers and thats causing some noise problems for us herridge said its not so bad that its violating federal standards but it is creating lowend noise an added problem is the proliferation of subdivisions in the regions south end caus ing signals to bounce around its not just skyscapers than can cause the problem herridge said lowlying build ings are a problem too about 500000 has been set aside in this years budget to fix the problem but the cure may cost more york regions radio system was one of the first of its kind in the country since its design similar systems have been installed in hamilton toronto and peel but those systems included enhancements that werent available to york region at the time7 york police only use voice radio in emer gency situations when quick communica tions to all cars are required mobile computers aboard all cruisers are used to obtain and transmit data a third communication line cell phones are also available in some cruisers yorks police services board will decide how the forces radio system will be improved hi p is wideman mennonite church 10530 hwy 48 north of major mackenzie phone 6406219
