  • 11 - Returning to quarters
  • 32 - Administrative

  • Franconia (sta 6): "six hundred"
  • W. Spfld (sta 7): "seven hundred"
  • Fair Oaks (sta 8): "eight hundred"
  • Units that begin with a 9, like 970B, are field units and cover as backup to the entire district. You can tell what station they're assigned to by looking at the second digit in their designator. Example: 970B is from West Springfield, Station 7 - 950B would be from Reston, Station 5.

Shift Differentiation: Midnights- "Adam" unit (e.g. "two-forty adam") is midnight unit assigned to area 240 Daywork- "Baker" unit (e.g. "eight-hundred baker")is daywork assigned to area 800 Evenings- "Charlie" unit(e.g."four-ten charlie")is evening unit assigned to area 410

X-ray unit - special assignment or traffic enforcement (e.g. "Xray 2x" - station 2 xray 3x - "station 3" etc etc) Set units - bike team or special assignment (e.g. "Set 45" - mason, "Set 21" - mt vernon) Squad Supervisors (usually 1 sgt and 1 lt per squad) use a "car" designator (e.g. "car-two adam" = station 2 midnight LT, "car-twenty adam" = station 2 midnight sgt, "car-three baker" = station 3 daywork lt, "car-thirty baker" = station 3 daywork sgt). CIS units are station level detectives (e.g. "CIS 21" = station 2 detective ) CIB units are department level detectives (major crimes etc. designators differentiate between divisions (auto squad, robbery etc) Wagon unit is designated by ending in an 8 - (e.g. "418 adam" is a midnight unit assigned to area 410 with the wagon) Double units are designeted by ending with a 9 (e.g. 219A "two-nineteen adam" is a double unit in area 210/211)
