WADSWORTH: City officials are trying to determine what options are available to protect the city's emergency radio frequencies.
Safety Director Charles Potter said someone in the area, whom he did not identify, has a radio programmed to transmit on the frequencies used by the city's police and fire departments.
Potter has asked Law Director Norman Brague to issue an opinion as to what options the city has to control the situation. Potter said he would like the authority to confiscate the radio.
Police Chief Dave Singleton said it is illegal to transmit on the frequencies and it will be easier if the city can take care of the problem instead of going to the Federal Communications Commission.
Potter said the city knows who has the radio. He said the person has been warned and has not used the frequencies since.
Potter said it is bad enough that the radio is out there, but in the instance of a large disaster, that person could start making transmissions and the city would not know from where they were coming.
City Council's Safety Committee adopted a resolution recommending legislation be drawn up to address the problem.
