INFO Broadcasts

INFO is a special mnemonic that is generated by TSCC.  System status messages are sent to all terminals using the broadcast INFO.  INFO is also used to notify all system users of special statewide data from state agencies.  State agencies at times distribute information needed immediately by law enforcement agencies by having TSCC send INFO broadcasts.

All requests for nationwide or statewide informational broadcasts MUST be directed to the TIME System Control Center (TSCC) and must be of significant importance to law enforcement.  If your agency needs to request a broadcast in a specific state, send a message to that state's control terminal. A Canada-wide broadcast request must be sent to INTERPOL in Washington, DC (DCINTER).  If an out-of-state agency contacts your agency requesting a broadcast, refer them to TSCC.
