3 TV in ARES Jim Andrews, KH6HTV

4 This is an ATV success story for ARRL, ARES & RACES

5 The Boulder County Amateur Radio Emergency Services (BCARES) has been providing Amateur TeleVision (ATV) services to the various Public Safety agencies in Boulder County, Colorado since 1990.

6 Primary Served Agencies Boulder City/County - Office of Emergency Management Boulder County Sheriff - also includes county fire departments

7 Other Served Agencies Boulder, Longmont, Broomfield & University of Colorado Police Depts

8 BCARES Organized 1976 after Big Thompson flood Incorporated as Non-Profit. Governed by a Board of Directors. Board members include reps from Sheriff, OEM, & county ham clubs. Chairman (EC) is elected by Board not appointed by ARRL. Primary served agency is Boulder County Sheriff Joint ARES / RACES recognized in MOU Funding from FEMA, served agency grants, corporate & private donations. $20/yr dues

9 BCARES key points contd. Office in Boulder County 911 Center / EOC with all mode (HF, VHF, UHF) capability Equipment cache in 911 Center (24/7) 2m Voice Repeater, Packet Cluster & TV Repeater use Sheriff & Police dept's remote radio sites and microwave network ATV receive stations in Police mobile command posts, plus headquarters

10 BCARES Members Must be FCC licensed amateurs Must be approved by Sheriff, after background check ID Card issued by Sheriff Must attend training classes

11 BCARES key points contd. 80+ members 1/2 of members are trained for ATV 6 members are special trained, Video team for Sheriff s SWAT team and respond on all missions. Officers & key members carry Sheriff's radio pagers

12 BCARES Services VHF & UHF voice - several repeaters VHF Packet Radio HF SSB HF Winlink Television

13 The #1 most requested service is TV!

14 Police Chief's Comments Having BCARES video allowed me to have an actual visual picture of distant events vs. my EOC team having to paint a mental picture based on radio comms The amount of radio traffic was down considerably due to having video I watched the quad video much more than the tactical messages on the computer Republican State Convention , Broomfield

15 BCARES Participates in several agency training exercises every year Responds to several emergency call-outs every year Provides ATV for all CU home football games (4 cameras) Bolder Boulder, Memorial Day, 10K race (50,000 runners) (8 cameras)

16 BCARES limits itself to only providing emergency communication services to Public Safety agencies. BCARES does NOT provide it's services to the large number of foot races, bicycle races, parades, etc. that occur every year. This is because we receive way too many requests and we would overwhelm our volunteer resources if we added these on top of our training and public safety missions. We refer these requests to the local ham clubs..

17 Other ARES Groups NOTE: For many ARES groups elsewhere, parades, races, etc. are their only public service activities. 1. Remember, per FCC rules, hams are not allowed to participate in money making operations, nor broadcast entertainment. It must be related to public safety. 2. Carefully screen requests for ham radio or ATV assistance.

18 Time Line of Major BCARES ATV Events Boulder Sheriff requests BCARES develop ATV capabilities Gulf War - multiple anti-war protest marches TV repeater installed in mountain park to provide coverage of city of Boulder and eastern 1/2 of county 1993 developed portable, 10W TV repeater for mountain operations early 90s - Halloween Mall Crawl (40,000+ rowdy, costumed partiers) Univ. of Colorado Police request ATV coverage of home football games

19 ATV Time Line contd Sheriff requests ATV coverage of SWAT missions CU student riots, 3 straight nights, rocks, bottles, bonfires in streets, multiple SWAT teams, tear gas, injuries, etc Colombine High Massacre, SWAT /11, SWAT critical infrastructure protection several more, minor CU riots

20 2001 to present continued supporting CU with ATV coverage of home football games response to forest fires every year response to flash floods in mountain canyons
