The Torrance Amateur Radio Association is an emergency communications arm of the Torrance Police Department. A seven-band ham station in the police station, coupled with a corps of licensed amateur radio operators who live and work in Torrance, provides eyes and ears from every corner of the City should a natural disaster, civil unrest or widespread communications outage occur. Typically 400 hours are volunteered each month by TARA members in services to the City and County. Antennas have been installed on all public schools and area disaster centers for use by hams during drills, exercises and actual emergencies. Communications are also provided for the Armed Forces Day Parade, the Air Fair, the Wilson Park 4th of July events, and various athletic events throughout the South Bay.
