    The following file provides a description of the
    most important Statewide Law Enforcement Agencies in
    South Carolina.



    SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY PATROL

    The South Carolina Highway Patrol is the main uniformed
    State Police agency. They have 600 troopers divided into seven
    Patrol Districts in forty-six counties. The Highway Patrol is
    currently using silver Ford Crown Victorias as their primary vehicle
    but has recently started using both fully marked and unmarked
    multicolored Ford Mustang GT's as fast chase cars on the Interstates
    and other major highways for traffic enforcement. The Highway Patrol
    uses eight channel Motorola Micor radios that enable the troopers to communicate with other districts. Some Troopers use handheld radios
    which usually transmit on the District transmit frequency. The
    frequency pairs listed below were assembled by careful monitoring. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    District Headquarters Frequency
    1 Columbia 042.340
    2 Greenwood 042.080
    3 Greenville 042.100
    4 Rock Hill 042.120
    5 Florence 042.080
    6 Charleston 042.100
    7 Orangeburg 042.120 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    All base frequencies listed above have an mobile input of either
    42.060 or 42.340. The Statewide Car/Car frequency seems to be
    Channel # 7 or 42.1400 with channel # 8,42.060 serving as the backup
    Car/Car channel. The 42.140/42.340 pair is used mostly along I-95 with
    the district frequency. The frequency pairs are shown in the chart
    below:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Frequency Usage Channel Position 042.100/42.100 Base/Mobile Channel # 1
    042.100/42.260 Mobile/Mobile Channel # 2
    042.120/42.340 Base/Mobile Channel # 3
    042.080/42.260 Base/Mobile Channel # 4
    042.140/42.340 Base/Mobile Channel # 5
    042.340/42.340 Base/Mobile Channel # 6
    042.140 Car/Car Channel # 7
    042.060/42.260 Base/Car Channel # 8

    SOUTH CAROLINA LAW ENFORCEMENT DIVISION


    The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (S.L.E.D.) is
    the principle investigative arm of the Governor and provides
    assistance to local police departments upon request. Any major
    crime that occurs in the state will probably have the involvement
    of SLED whether from the Bloodhounds or from the Forensic Science
    Center. There are Resident SLED agents in every county and Regional
    Field Offices in each Highway Patrol District.
    The State Law Enforcement Division uses three different radio
    systems in its operations. Most agents have both a Highway Patrol
    and a SLED radio in their cars. You can hear call signs like
    "SLED-321" on either the South Carolina Highway Patrol System
    or the SLED system. The radios that are installed in most SLED
    vehicles are 32 channel rigs with capability to operate in Digital
    Voice Protection Mode and have Autopatch from their vehicles. SLED
    agents can directly connect with other agents by dialing the unit #
    of the other agent anywhere in South Carolina. The frequencies used
    SLED agents are listed in the chart below. The Narcotics agents can
    access the regional repeaters with their programmable Motorola
    Syntor X-9000's when they need to coomunicate with local Sheriff's
    and police departments. ______________________________________________________________________

    ______________________________________________________________________
    If one listens to the first four channels you will hear most
    of the activity of the State Law Enforcement Division. 453.6250 is
    the frequency of the Uniformed Division of SLED , Capitol Complex
    Police which guards all state office buildings. 453.750 is used in
    the State House by the Security Teams guarding the Governor and
    other important officials. ______________________________________________________________________

    SOUTH CAROLINA WILDLIFE & MARINE RESOURCES COMMISSION

    The South Carolina Wildlife & Marine Resources Commission is
    responsible for managing the game and fishing resources of South
    Carolina and enforcing the hunting and fishing laws. The officers
    have the same authority as the Highway Patrol. They are often
    heard requesting drivers license and registration checks.
    Apparently certain wildlife officers have the ability to
    communicate with with local Sheriff's Departments since callsigns
    like " WMR ---"have been heard on the Lexington County Sheriff's
    Dept. frequency. Possibly local law enforcement agencies provide
    radios to WMR. Certain key officers have the ability to access the
    State Law Enforcement Division's Communication System if necessary.
    In the Fall of 1987,the Wildlife Dept. began to implementing
    a new radio system to replace their old 31 mhz system. At first,
    this was going to be a 800 mhz trunked system but this proved too
    complicated and expensive for their needs. Then it was decided that
    the 151 Mhz area was the best location for the new radio system.
    Wildlife currently has nine frequencies assigned to its operations.
    They have repeater sites installed around the state which improves
    the communications of Wildlife Officers over the old 31 Mhz system.
    Wildlife Officers have mobile repeaters installed on their vehicles
    for use with handheld radios while they are in the field away from
    their vehicles in order to maintain contact with their district base.

    The confirmed Repeater outputs for S.C.W.M.R.C. are listed below:
    151.1600 Estill, Little Mountain , Hampton
    151.2950 Greenwood , Orangeburg , Ware Shoals
    151.3250 Aiken , Eutaw Springs , Walhalla
    151.3400 Florence, Sumter
    151.3700 Edgemore , Rock Hill
    151.4150 Cheraw , Columbia , Greenville , Ridgeland
    151.4300 Anderson , Aynor , Charleston , Conway
    151.4450 Camden , Cassett , Georgetown , White Stone

    The frequency of 151.2500 serves as the input for the mobile
    repeaters installed on the Wildlife aircraft,boats,and vehicles.
    S.C.W.M.R.C. uses Motorola Syntor X-9000 programmable mobile
    units with 110 watt output that are capable of accessing any
    portion of the V.H.F. Spectrum. Wildlife Officers participate
    in the Drug Task Force with the Highway Patrol and State Law
    Enforcement Division. They provide aerial support for the raid
    teams when requested by other agencies.
    It has been observed that certain frequencies used by the
    Wildlife Dept. seem to have different usages depending upon the
    location. For example, Wildlife Officers have been heard in the
    Midlands around Columbia using 151.4150 as their Dispatch frequency.
    They use 151.1600 and 151.4150 for mobile communications while
    patrolling. This leads one to believe that certain channels seem
    to have more than one purpose for each frequency such as one for
    Land Operations and another for Water Operations. The Motorola
    Syntor radios used by WMR have 32 channel capability with different
    PL tones for each repeater site, simplex channel, or Marine Band .
    The radios have scanning capability where an officer can select how
    many channels to monitor while patrolling. This new system is a great improvement over the old 31 mhz system since Wildlife officers can now communicate with each other much better. Each Wildlife Officer is
    issued a Motorola SABER Handheld which is linked to his mobile
    unit enabling full communication with his district HQ.
