NOTICE: It is not illegal to listen to your public servants at work. It is illegal to repeat or profit from what you hear. Listen to your public servants from the comfort and safety of your own home! Do not go chasing after them -- the last thing they need is a scanner-toting yahoo interfering with their duties. These frequencies are derived from publicly available sources or discovered through searching. They are not secret. |
NOTICE: NONE OF THIS INFORMATION COMES FROM OFFICIAL SOURCES. It all comes from what I have gleaned from monitoring these agencies and from observations I have made in my neighborhood. |
All Public Safety agencies on this page are part of the 9-1-1 system. |

All Norman city services, as well as the University of Oklahoma and the Cleveland Co Sheriff's Office, are on OKWIN, the Oklahoma Wireless Information Network, a statewide Motorola 800-MHz trunked system. In addition to the Norman two-tower simulcast site (converted from the original system), there are also sites in Moore/OKC (another multi-tower simulcast, Site 8), Lexington, and Tecumseh that may carry Norman traffic. The Norman system (now Site 40) was merged into OKWIN in 2007. Norman units can now "roam" statewide (maybe) and stay in touch with their dispatcher. Rumor has it (c.2017) that the city is going to purchase a new P25 system with money from the Temporary Public Safety Sales Tax that was made permanent.
Department is dispatched by PD. Stations are toned out with 1970s-era Quik-Call-style tones. One pair of tones is usually a non-structure fire, two pairs is usually a medical call (one FD tone, one for EMSSTAT), three pairs is usually a reported structure fire. Per city statistics, 97% of NFD's runs are for EMS.

Older apparatus is numbered differently than the company's radio callsign. For example, Engine 1 used to say "E 23", Engine 2 says "E 22", Truck 2 said "T 31", etc. Newer apparatus, in red paint, thanks, is numbered to match the station.
Engines and Brush units ID separately, but essentially form a two-piece engine company. In the rural areas (Engines 5 and 6), this means that the Brush unit will often arrive, with only it's driver and the company officer, a few minutes ahead of the pump.
NFD began running first response service on EMS calls on 1995-09-01 when Norman Regional Hospital purchased the ambulance service from the NPD. EMSSTAT began providing EMS to Moore on 2015-10-01.

Units ID as "1 John 1" or "1 Adam 1". Numbers are as follows:
So "1 Adam 2" would be the second day shift car assigned to the "Adam" beat. Note that the first digit is often truncated at times when there is no overlap of shifts.
