Detail Specifics

  • All Hoosier Helper FSP Units are assigned to the race day detail are to patrol the West Leg of I-465 from I-70 (Exit 9) to 56th Street (Exit 19). If traffic conditions dictate, patrol areas may be expanded at the discretion of the IMS Command Center.
  • The IMS Command Center console will be known as INDOT Command for all radio traffic. All normal Hoosier Helper to Base radio traffic with the IMS Command Center is run through the TMC DISPATCH talkgroup except:
    1. The Indianapolis TMC shall be contacted for all private tow requests.
    2. The Indianapolis TMC shall be contacted for all abandoned vehicle log interactions.
  • All non-critical van-to-van radio traffic should be communicated on DTAG unless the conversation relates to an active incident in which everyone on the Primary Talkgroup benefits from your insightful dialog.
  • During the pre-race and post-race traffic pattern, Hoosier Helpers are to advise INDOT command as to traffic flow conditions on the mainline and interchange ramps in regular intervals. The IMS Command Center will be using maps with the 2/10th Reference Markers, so use the 2/10th Reference Markers when communicating this traffic information.
  • Units assigned the PM Interstate Patrol Detail are to load as many additional cones into their commissions as possible. Based on past experience, additional traffic control may be required during the post-race traffic pattern.
  • Interstate Patrol Units that encounter "ticket scalpers" and/or "road side salespersons" are to do the following:
    1. Advise INDOT command as to the location and description of the subject(s).
    2. Approach the subjects and advise them that pedestrian traffic on the interstate is illegal. While we do not have enforcement powers, we can most certainly contact someone who does. This enforcement officer will not be lenient if the subject(s) do not comply with our warning.
    3. Advise INDOT command as to the disposition of our conversation.
    4. Monitor subject(s) actions as you and other units continue routine patrol of the area.

    Note: While the City of Speedway does issue permits for these types of activities, the Interstate Right-of-Way is Not within the city limits. Therefore, any permit that is flashed by the subject(s) is null and void on the Interstate!!

    Report Belligerent Behavior to the TMC Command Immediately If You Feel That Your Life or That of Others Is Threatened!!

  • A copy of the official traffic pattern map is attached to this memorandum for your information.
  • State Police units assigned exclusively to the race detail will operate on 52-OPS 2 outside of the track and 52-OPS 1 inside of the track. Due to the Hoosier Helper radios not currently having 52-OPS 1 or 2 programmed, these talkgroups can be monitored in units with onboard scanners as follows:
    • System through District 52 Tower
    • 52 OPS 1 through Talkgroup ID 16080
    • 52 OPS 2 through Talkgroup ID 16112

    District 52 Units assigned to routine district duties will continue to operate on 52 Dispatch

Special Assignments

  • 38-30 and X-10 are to move the temporary DMS from Westbound Crawfordsville Road east of High School Road to eastbound I-465 east of I-65 on the south side of Indianapolis near mile marker 52.8. This DMS will be used to advise motorists to watch for stop or slowed traffic ahead due to the road work and associated traffic congestion on I-74 east of I-465.
