Unit Numbers
Washington County has been making a migration toward having less separation between different police agencies within the county. There is a basic separation between the West and South parts of the county, where dispatching is now typically combined respectively. Many of the agency specific talk groups are used much less, if at all. To be able to distinguish units of different agencies, Washington County police units have 4 digit unit numbers as identifiers, with different agencies in different ranges. Listed below are the ranges each agency falls within.
Unit ID | Agency | Primary Channel | Dispatch TGID |
---|---|---|---|
1000 | Hillsboro Police Department | Hillsboro PD 1 | 60528 |
2000 | Tigard Police Department | South Cities 1 | 60848 |
3300 | King City Police Department | South Cities 1 | 60848 |
3400 | North Plains Police Department | WCSO SO 1 | 64048 |

Washington County Fire & EMS
All Washington County fire agencies are dispatched by and through the Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency (WCCCA), and are assigned a few dispatches known collectively as FIRECOM. They are responsible for dispatching all calls within the county, as well as requesting mutual aid from neighboring agencies, such as LOCOM, CCOM, and BOEC.
There are eight primary talkgroups, in addition to various miscellaneous talkgroups. For a complete listing, see the Washington County/Clackamas County trunked radio system in the RaidoRefernce database.
Talkgroup ID | Talkgroup Name | Use |
---|---|---|
50640 | FIRECOM Dispatch | Used to dispatch fire and EMS resources |
50576 | OPS 32 | Used by Banks, Cornelius, Forest Grove, and Gaston units for routine calls |
50544 | OPS 33 | Used by Hillsboro for routine calls |
50512 | OPS 34 | Used by TVF&R for routine calls |
50480 | OPS 35 | Primary major incident channel for all county agencies |
50448 | OPS 36 | Secondary major incident channel (when Ops 35 is in use) |
50608 | OPS 37 | Tertiary major incident channel (when Ops 35 and 36 are in use); currently used as needed as a cross-patch to law enforcement talkgroups during sensitive situations, such as threats of suicide; also used as a minor incident dispatch channel during countywide emergencies |
50416 | OPS 38 | Used by Washington, Yamhill, and Clackamas counties during mutual aid with a patch to North Marion County Communications (NORCOM) and the agencies they dispatch |
50384 | OPS 39 | Used by Washington and Yamhill agencies, including Gaston and Yamhill RFPD during mutual aid incidents, with a patch to Yamhill County Communications |

Life Flight Network, a system of specially outfitted helicopters, airplanes, and ground transportation provide service in Washington County for critical care transport to Portland area hospitals and trauma centers. Life Flight 2 based at the Aurora Airport in Marion County and Life Flight 7 based in Longview, WA provide the closest coverage to Washington County. Life Fight 14, located in Astoria, also responds to the Washington County area if necessary.
Joint CAD Incident Tracking System
WCCCA and CCOM partnered together to provide to the general public an incident tracking system for fire and medical calls within the two counties. As of 10/272016, this service is no longer available. See the Joint CAD Incident Tracking System for more information.
