The EDACS system used by the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department and the City of Albuquerque contains 3 separate networks.

The first one is only used by the city and contains the public works employees. Organizations like the water department, garbage trucks, bus system, traffic engineering, etc. The frequencies in LCN order for that system are:

856.2625
857.2625
858.2625
859.2625
860.2625
856.4625
857.4625
858.4625
859.4625
860.4625
856.4875
856.7125
857.7125
858.7125
860.9875


The second system is used by the Albuquerque Police Department, Airport Police, and I've heard Bernalillo County Fire Department dispatch as well. The frequencies for that network in LCN order are:

866.2500
866.5625
866.7625
866.9750
867.2500
867.6000
867.9750
868.2625
868.5000
868.7500
866.1125
866.4500
866.7125
867.0625
867.4500


The third system is kind of a mystery. I think it's used by the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department, but you can't hear any of the police communications which means both sides are transmitting in digital. On this network, I have heard Bernalillo County Fire Department dispatch but that's it and you can't hear the fire/rescue units in the field (they're digital). It's worth monitoring anyway because you never know what might come across. The frequencies in LCN order are:

866.2250
866.4750
866.7375
866.9500
867.2000
867.4750
867.7125
867.9500
868.2375
