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(1-2) 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.

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 ofthe 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(1-2) 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.
