Turnpike Troop E State Police

Troop E Official Site

  • Transmit Sites are confusing. Some are back-up sites. Most are educated guesses.
  • Most of these repeaters are linked, statewide.
  • Repeaters can be operated Locally [Different CTCSS] vs Linked
  • MSP Troop E uses the MSP 800 MHz Trunk for most operations
  • Emergency Service Vehicles (Truck 500, 600, 700) and Turnpike Maintenance use VHF for a tie to the MSP
  • MSP Troop E Cruisers use the VHF Repeaters as a secondary to the MSP TRS
  • E-3 Westfield use the VHF Repeaters as a Primary
