Line 1: Line 1:
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 car/unit 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. FTO Cars use the 1 suffix initially (41D1) but will switch, after several FTO phases, to 2 suffix (41D2), as the trainee gains experience/trusted more as a solo/competent deputy.
 
 
SSD/SSO, unlike SPD, barely makes use of their formal Beat system except for reporting purposes, so units will roam throughout their district, if not division wide. SPD, mentioned below, generally requires strict beat discipline, and units are expected to remain inside their beat unless dispatched out.

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/asst with warrants.

Centralized Investigation Division(CID)
 
 
CID has a variety of sections, such as Homicide, Crimes Against Persons, Crimes against Property, Sexual and Elder Abuse, etc

It also appears that CID supervisors(Sergeants) have very low(close to UX00) callsigns, if not UX00 itself
 
I.E U600-Major Crimes Sgt.
 
U100-CID Captain
 
2XX-Homicide Bureau

In addition, there may be smaller units that use the same callsigns, and 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.
 
 
STAFF400-IA Captain
 
Staff4XX- IA/PSD Detectives. Also includes Legal Affairs
 
 
Main Jail Deputies, at least from the Main Jail, go by Jail XXX, with lower numbers for greater senority

Sacramento County Park Rangers are dispatched/on same channels as patrol deputies. Their callsign is Ranger "XX" with the number being their badge/part of badge number. If their # is 119, their callsign is "Ranger 19", if # is 48 "Ranger 48". Supervisors have "Sam" at end of callsign
 
 
Sacramento Co. Probation is dispatched by SSO, and generally calls on air as "Probation (John/poss. Frank/Robert) XX". The John is likely for Juvenile Field Services; the others and the numbering is unknown. Probation officers are occasionally on local task forces, such as Gangs (GSU),SACCATS,SAFE; It is unknown whether they use a callsign from that unit or not.
 
 
== === 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]
 
 
As mentioned above, SPD generally recognizes/requires strict beat discipline from patrol officers, and their callsigns are tied to their beats.
 
 
=== 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
 
#XAB
 
 
#-Number of Ofc. in car(1 or 2)
 
X-Watch, with Graves being Alpha(A), Day being Bravo(B), and Swing being Charlie/Charles(C)
 
A-District
 
B-Beat within District, 1-3 refers to Beat A, 4-6 Beat B, Etc.(SPD generally staffs 2-3 units(Including 2-officer cars) per beat per district, totaling, on average, 6-10 officers per district, with 6 total districts
 
      For District 6: numbers in 60/70/80 series are used, due to the much larger number of beats present
 
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
 
 
#SM#-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. The numbering is unknown/possibly by seniority
 
 
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.
 
 
 
 
==== Specialty ====
 
 
GANGXX-Obvious
 
    XX-Appear to be based largely off assigned district/Beat. SHOTSPOTTER units are tied into/apart of GET. There are 3 Gang Enforcement Teams(GET)-North(NGET), South(SGET), and East(EGET)
 
 
 
RTXX-Regional Transit(RT) police (Contracted with SSO/SPD/single Folsom Ofcr.)-Only numbers seen so far are RT3X units. SSO/SPD officers are occasionally paid up
 
 
Delta/DavidXX-POP
 
 
EODXX-Obv
 
 
AIR/ARC6X- Drone Units
 
 
AIR2X-CHP Fixed Wing

SC/SecurityXX- Off duty/extra patrol at various locations at various times
 
 
GRN/GREENXX- temporary Hospital Security
 
 
UNION-SWAT officers, numbered on seniority (UNION1=Lt.)

Office of Investigations
 
 
Detectives-IVY/IVXXX-number poss. tied to seniority/ranking(sergeants lower number)
