Police units call signs

Hi, each force has their own callsigns. Most are restricted / sensitive information and not public knowledge.

My advice is make your own, make them obvious so R for response, T for traffic, F for firearms, D for dog etc. give them a number or other letter which links them to their station and their force, and there you go, your own callsigns.

Equally, callsigns can rotate between vehicles
Some examples from Scotland

For example
TM01 to TM79 (Traffic Mobile)
A few days later TM01 is damaged and sent to workshop
TM23 is then reassigned to TM01
When the original TM01 returns it is assigned TM16, just to complicate things!

The numbers can also be used to assign specific vehicle types
TM71 to TM79 would be low grade Traffic vehicles, high mileage and so on
Commonly used for wide load escort

Vehicles with ARV are often given three digit callsigns in the 900 sequence, making them easier and quicker to identify
CM901 to CM903 (C division Mobile)

You then have a range of temporary callsigns, for say events, demonstrations, and so on
CX1001 to CX1019 (C division Temporary)
Quite often these would be pooled vehicles, and would be returned back to the division they had come from
Equally, the workshop would have some stored unallocated vehicles which could be quickly activated

Up to you as to how you want to label your units.

Me i use a numbering system for all of my PD units and it is based on the County that they are in. In Minnesota there are 87 Counties and the County is given a number based on its alphabetical name. So in MNs case Aitkin County is 01. So my PD units will be labeled 01-xxxx. If its a specialized unit like a Police Super/Sherriff i add something at the end of the call sign like SGT for sergeant, K-9 for k9, JV for the Prisoner transport.

For Fire it usually an abbreviation of the fire dept and then a Letter and number and the number corresponds with the type of unit.

In my example i will use the Cambridge Fire Dept in the area i am in.

Type 1 i consider an Engine - CFE11

Type 2 i consider a grass rig - CFG21

Rescue Engine - CFRE31

Heavy Rescue CFHR51

Platform truck, or Ladder CFPT61

Water Taker CFWT65

Mobile Air CFMA71

Battalion Chief CFC1

As i stated Callsigns are really up to you, you can come up with your own system.

This is the UK forum
Police are by constabulary area
Fire are by brigade area
Ambulance are by NHS trust (private and some others)

I am using a flat generic vehicle identifier
For example
IRV Glasgow City 001
DSU Glasgow City 001 (which makes it easier to identify a Dog Handler)
AMB Glasgow City 001
RRV Glasgow City 001 (which makes it easier to identify a Critical Care)

My apologies, I did not notice which forum i was in.

As previously stated, really the callsign labeling is purely up to the player. The beauty of the game is you can do and play how ever you would like.
