Countywide Information

  • Countywide dispatching is done from the "Berkshire Sheriffs Control" located in Pittsfield unless otherwise noted below
  • Not all towns have full time police. Police services may be provided by the Massachusetts State Police on the CoMIRS trunk. Low Band use has been pretty much phased out.
  • Berkshire County will use the Great Barrington frequency to dispatch towns in far southern Berkshire County from atop Warner Mountain in Great Barrington. Great Barrington uses the frequency for local police dispatching, and to communicate with surrounding towns, however Great Barrington police operate from the roof of Fairview Hospital, and not the Warner Mountain site.
  • Egremont has the ability to communicate with the nearby Columbia County Sheriff's Dispatch, and is identified on their frequency with the same ID as they use in Berkshire County. The Columbia County Sheriff also responds to calls in the town of Mount Washington.
  • 154.7400 is now the county primary and is repeated.
  • There are WMLEC repeaters in the area as well.
  • At one point, there was construction of a new UHF radio system, however it appears construction has stopped and the system is unused except for the BOLOs.
