Allen County Public Safety
From The RadioReference Wiki
Rebanding and P25
The current system configuration is a trunked P25 system as the ACPS system page indicates. Unlike SAFE-T, the ACPS system does not transmit the band plan in the P25 messages, requiring scanner operators to manually enter the bandplan as detailed on Software Support for Uniden Rebanding.
Agency Codes
Most Allen County law enforcement agencies (excluding the Indiana State Police post in Fort Wayne) use a close derivative of the known ACPD signals. The common signal codes that are still in use by Allen County law enforcement agencies are not currently on the wiki in a traditional sense. An image of the codes when they were, at one time, on the wiki is available, though it is not perfectly up to date (several codes above 120 are not listed). Below is a typed version that can be updated as code purposes are rediscovered or learned.

ACPD Unit Numbering
ACPD officers use their three digit badge numbers as their unit identifiers on the air unless they are a part of the command staff, in which case they use identifiers in the form of "AC1", "AC2", etc. Occasionally, a unit will identify itself by its car number. When a confinement officer is performing a transport, they may be heard on the air using a unit prefix of "C" (though this is unconfirmed, it is likely). When multiple units are on duty in a single commission, one unit nominates itself as the sole contact for the commission (synonymous with "vehicle") for the shift.
