Allendale County Updates Public Safety Radio Frequencies and Systems
A public listing of Allendale County radio frequencies was updated on January 7, 2026, detailing grouped channels and trunked talkgroups used by fire, EMS and police. The update matters to residents and scanner listeners because it clarifies dispatch and tactical channels that support emergency response and cross-jurisdiction coordination.
On January 7, 2026 at 02:15 am UTC, Allendale County’s public radio frequency listing was updated to show the grouped frequencies and trunked systems now used by local fire, emergency medical services and law enforcement. The entry lists specific dispatch and tactical channels and identifies the county’s police communications as operating on the Palmetto 800 Project 25 Phase II trunked system, information that affects how responders and public-safety monitors tune in during incidents.
Fire department channels enumerated in the update include 151.040 as the Allendale County Fire Dispatch channel, with two tactical fire channels listed at 154.175 and 154.265. EMS communications are shown on 155.220 for Allendale County EMS Dispatch and 155.940 for an EMS tactical channel. For police operations the listing includes example talkgroups and frequencies such as 453.250 and 453.500, along with a conventional Allendale Police Department dispatch channel on 453.375. The update is presented as a resource for scanner listeners and for public-safety awareness, and it notes that some premium features of the listing require a login.
For Allendale residents these technical details translate into practical consequences. Accurate frequency information helps volunteer firefighters, mutual aid partners and amateur radio operators who assist during major incidents to coordinate more effectively with county dispatch. It also assists community members who use scanners to stay informed about local incidents, road closures and public-safety notices. Knowing which channels are designated for dispatch versus tactical operations reduces confusion when multiple agencies respond to the same scene.
The identification of the Palmetto 800 Project 25 Phase II trunked system places the county’s police communications within a modern digital interoperability framework that many jurisdictions adopt to improve multiagency coordination. That infrastructure can affect response times and the ability of neighboring counties and state partners to share radio resources during storms, large events or emergencies.
Residents who rely on scanner information should verify their radio programming against these frequencies and be aware that some online features tied to the listing may require an account to access. Local emergency managers and first-responder leaders can use the clarified frequency layout to refine mutual aid plans and public messaging as winter weather and other seasonal risks continue.
