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.

District 1(Northeast)-Areas near Sac. International Airport, McClellan, North Highlands, Antelope, Rio Linda Examples: 11A1 District 1 Beat 1 morning/Day shift 1 man unit 16F2 Beat 6 graveyard shift 2 man car

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

Adam/Boy- Day shift units (0600-1600) Charles/David- Swing Shift(1400-0000) 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.

CSOXX- non-sworn Community Service Officer

ID/IDAXX- CSI, CSI units are fully sworn deputies, unlike Sacramento Police.

Youth#- SSO Youth Services Unit

SSO has a standing contract with the Elk Grove Unified School District to provide SROs for their schools. SCHXX/SchoolXX

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:

2XX-Homicide Bureau 3XX-Robbery Bureau 4XX-Sexual Assault and Elder Abuse Bureau 5XX-Child Abuse Bureau 6XX-Major Crimes Bureau(Mainly conduct plain-clothes crime-suppression and investigation) 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(###)
