emergency police information may
be broadcast simultaneously to very
section of Arizona and to all police
or sheriff's automobiles equipped
with receiving sets. All Arizona
Highway Patrol cars have been
equipped with special receivers
tuned to KNGC in Phoenix. Patrol
cars in Prescott, Yuma and Tucson
will be equipped with special two
channel receivers permitting re-

In addition to highway patrol
cars and sheriff's offices, all border
inspection stations of the Motor We
