Unit identifications

Patrol cars are identified according to their base station number and a secondary sequential number from 01 to 99

So a car from station 49 would be identified visually and on the air as 49-XX such as 49-2 for example.

The second number identifies a specific unit in base station. Numbers start from 1 and go up to 99. The unit numbers 85, 86 and 99 are special, they identify coordinating units.

"Intervention units"

A note on riot operations: a set of special units called "groupe d'intervention" (GI) is often deployed during demonstrations or riot situations. They are under the supervision of the "intervention" unit (often 72-85) or the local field commander (for example 21-99). but may be adressed with letters instead of numbers of their station name. Examples:

• A-85, A-86 - heads of riot squad A
• B-1, C-3, H-4 - individual riot police officers
• V-385 - unknown

Most of the contacts are on the CCTI (2) channel, but channels 10, 7, 9 and (rarely) 8 are also used. The communications within a squad is oral or crypted.
