Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office
 
  
SSO/SSD is comprised by over 1500 Sworn employees, which includes Field Services, Correctional Services, and various Contract/Regional Services.
 
  
Sheriff’s Patrol units
 
 
SSO’s patrol units are divided into North, East and Central(South) Divisions. North Division is comprised of 4 districts, north of the Sacramento River.  East Division, located in the Eastern part of the county, comprises two patrol districts, one being the Rancho Cordova Police Department, where SSO deputies patrol the confines of Rancho Cordova, in RCPD marked cars and uniforms, but are still deputy sheriffs and wear a deputy sheriff badge. The “Chief of Police” for RCPD is an SSO Captain, who is also in charge of the East Patrol Division as a whole. Central Division, located in the central/southern part of the county. is comprised of two patrol districts, Central and South. Various Specialty and support sections/units are included in Field Services.
 
 
Sheriff patrol callsigns are comprised of a number-number-letter-number combination. The first number denotes the district(1-8) the 2nd number denotes the beat within the district, the letter denotes the shift(discussed below), and the final number(1 or 2) identifies the number of officers in the car. I believe if there is a field training trainee in the car, the number may still be 1. Often the final number is not voiced on the radio.

SSO Shifts
 
 
Patrol Shifts are divided into 3 watches, Day, Swing, and Graveyard, 10 hours in length. Each watch is further divided to make 6 patrol teams to allow for days off. Watches are overlapped by about 2 hours to allow for efficient/safe shift changeovers

Frank/Ed- Graveyard shift (2200-0800)
 
 
 
Specialty units: Most speciality units, such as Gangs, POP, etc, are named somewhat plainly over radio, such as GANGXX, POPXX, with the numbers matching the patrol district they are matching, with a somewhat random 2nd number. For example, a Gang Unit working in district 6 might be called as GANG62.

SSO will occasionally provide full-time/part time SROs for other districts, such as San Juan Unified
 
 
SJ41 San Juan 41. San Juan “Safe Schools” assignment in District 4.
 
 
SSO also provides overtime/off-duty patrol to various neighborhoods, restaurants, etc. Usually these units will use a abbreviation/name of the job, followed by a 1-2 digit number that matches the patrol division the location is in.
 
Wil4 or Wilhaggin4- Willhaggin neighborhood patrol unit in District 4
 
 
Special Enforcement Detail(SED)
 
 
SED is the department's full time SWAT Team. The team is comprised of approximately 20 operators, 2 sergeants, and several former members as auxiliaries. When not on a callout, the team, both singularly and in pairs, will work patrol, both in marked and unmarked vehicles, mainly in crime suppression or serving warrants.
 
 
SED members on patrol will use patrol callsigns in the 90 series(i.e 97E, 90S, L90).
 
 
Centralized Investigation Division(CID)
 
 
CID has a variety of sections, such as Homicide, Crimes Against Persons, Crimes against Property, Sexual and Elder Abuse, etc
 
 
All CID units, as far as I’m aware, go by "Union", followed by a 3 digit number beginning at either 100 or 200. Numbers are divided by assignment, for example:
 
 
It also appears that CID supervisors(Sergeants) have very low(close to UX00) callsigns, if not UX00 itself
 
I.E U600-Major Crimes Sgt.
 
 
2XX-Homicide Bureau
 
3XX-Robbery Bureau
 
4XX-Sexual Assault and Elder Abuse Bureau
 
5XX-Child Abuse Bureau
 
6XX-Major Crimes Bureau(Fugitive Apprehension/Warrant Squad)
 
7XX-Property Crimes Bureau
 
8XX-Crimes Against Persons Bureau
 
In addition, there may be smaller units that use different callsigns, or are tied in to an existing bureau's callsigns
 
 
SSO Administration and Staff officers use callsigns beginning with either "STAFF" or "SSD". For example, the PIO goes by Staff210.
 
 
Jail Deputies, at least from the Main Jail, go by Jail/JL(###)
 
 
 
 
 
 
== === Sacramento Police Department[SacPD/SPD] ==
 
 
SPD is comprised of several Bureaus, inluding the Office of Operations, Office of Investigations, Office of Specialized Services, and the Office of the Chief
 
 
 
 
 
=== Office of Operations(Field Services) ===
 
 
Office of Operations contains the front-lines of SPD, including Patrol, Gang Enforcement Team(s)(GET), POP, and other things, mainly in Downtown, such as Bikes, Marine, Mounted, etc, as well as Dispatch.
 
 
Patrol is Divided into 3 stations, totaling 4 Area Commands(North, Central, East, and South) [Central/East are quartered together, with separate leadership, at the Richards Station]
 
 
 
=== North Command ===
 
 
District 1-Natomas, NorthGate, American River Parkway[NorthWest/NorthCentral Sacramento]
 
Beats 1A-1C
 
 
District 2-Del Paso Heights, Arden Fair/parts of Arden Arcade, Cal Expo, Hagginwood, North Sacramento [North-Central/North-East Sacramento]
 
Beats 2A-2C
 
 
 
=== Central Command-Downtown, ===
 
 
   
 
   
District 3-Midtown, Old Sacramento, Richards Blvd. Area [Central Sacramento]
 
Beats 3A(2 separated beats), 3B, 3M
 
 
 
 
=== East Command ===
 
 
District 6-East Sacramento, Oak Park, Tahoe Park, College Glen, CSUS, Florin-Frutridge, CSUS [East & South-East Sacramento]
 
Beats-6A-6E
 
 
 
=== South Command ===
 
 
District 4-Land Park, South Land Park, Pocket/Greenhaven, Curtis Park, Sac City College, Exec. Airport, Freeport Manor, Hollywood Park["Northern" South/South-West Sacramento]
 
Beats 4A-4C
 
 
District 5-Meadowview, Parkway, Delta Shores Shopping Center, Valley Hi [South Sacramento]
 
Beats 5A-5C
 
 
 
=== Patrol Shifts- ===
 
 
SPD is divided into 36 patrol teams split between 3 patrol Shifts(2 teams per district per shift for days off)
 
Late Watch-2100-0700
 
Day Watch-0600-1600
 
Mid Watch-1430-0030
 
 
=== Patrol Callsigns ===
 
Patrol Callsigns are based on Watch and District/Beat assignment
 
#X##
 
 
#1-Number of Ofc. in car(1 or 2)
 
X-Watch, with Late being Alpha(A), Day being Bravo(B), and Late being Charlie/Charles(C)
 
#2-District
 
#3-Beat within District, 1-3 refers to Beat A, 4-6 Beat B, Etc.(SPD staffs 2-3 units(Including 2-officers) per beat per district, totaling, on average, 6-10 officers per district, with 6 total districts
 
      For District 6-I presume, due to the number of beats, that only 2 units are assigned to each beat, so 0-1 would be A, 2-3 B, 4-5 C, 6-7 D, 8-9 E
 
 
1A21 would be a 1 officer Late Watch unit assigned to District 2-Beat A
 
1B44-1 officer Day Watch District 4 Beat B
 
2C67-2 Officer Mid Watch District 6 Beat D
 
 
Supervisors
 
 
#S#-Sergeants
 
  #1-Watch Assignment, same as Patrol, 1-A 2-B 3-C
 
  SM-Sam phonetic
 
    #2 District 1-6
 
1SM5-Late Watch Sergeant for District 5
 
2SM3-Day Watch Sergeant District 3
 
 
It appears that SPD sustains one sergeant per district per watch on patrol daily. Also, if there is already/still is a sergeant on duty in district, a 2nd digit will be added to the final series i.e 2SM33 in district 3.
 
 
I also believe that SPD specialty unit sergeants follow the same format as SSO, with the phoentic/name then a digit, followed by Sam, such as GANG6S
 
 
Lieutenant
 
 
/LN##-Lincoln, followed by 1-2 numerical digits. For Some units, it might be based off District assignment, as I have seen LN3 in District 3
 
 
It appears that SPD has a lieutenant per command per shift, so 2-3 total per command
 
 
Patrol Executive/Command Staff
 
Each Area Command has a Captain in command, as well as an Executive Lieutenant(X0), followed by the watch lieutenant
 
 
Captain-It appears that the callsign of a patrol captain is a/the district under the command, followed by "CO"
 
6CO-East area Captain
 
 
Lieutenant-I can not confirm, but my guess would be the same as Captain, but "XO" instead of "CO"
 
  
3XO-Central Cmd. Exec. Lt.
