Radio Systems

Several conventional 800 MHz repeaters carry both Sheriff and Fire talkgroups. These are for filling trunked system coverage gaps in the deep desert area.

Systems 01 Through 10 Sites

Note that there are 800 MHz sites besides those listed below used as "fill-in" sites. They may be in conventional operation or Smartnet trunked systems other than Systems 01 through 10.

San Bernardino County Fire

Fire VHF system: Seven repeater pairs have been placed in service countywide at multiple locations (see freq list). The "BDC V1 through BDC V7" sites are normally kept patched into the geographic area's 800mhz system, but the transmit location can be changed on a per incident basis to give mutual aid resources access to working 800mhz talkgroups. The "BDC" VHF tac channels are used on mutual aid incidents where assisting agencies might not have 800mhz radios. Those resources can respond with Comm Center via the VHF repeaters, then switch to a common VHF tactical when on scene.

Sheriff Unit Designators

Unit designators consist of three fields [01]-[A]-[23]. The first field is the division or patrol area as follows:


Bureau/Division Station Area [01]

The second field is the deputy descriptor or assignment. Certain descriptors are only used with specific divisions (e.g., "King" is only used with Aviation, thus 40-K). Each patrol station (not area) usually has one Captain and Lieutenant, and their designators do not have a third field (e.g., 6-C, not 6-C-1). Captains, Lieutenants, and Sergeants from stations in the patrol division that share multiple patrol areas normally take the county area designator as the first field of their unit designator (e.g., 6-S-5, not 16-S-5). "Xray" units may be motorcycle or regular patrol car units. The following table lists the descriptor or assignment.


[A] Descriptor/Assignment Field [01] Usage
A (Adam) Civilian station / field unit  
B (Baker) Reserve deputy  
C (Charlie) Captain  
D (David) Detective  
G (George) Gang enforcement deputy 61, some patrol division use
H (Henry) Homicide detective 60
I (Ida) Investigator 70
J (John) Station jail deputy  
K (King) Aircraft unit 40
L (Lincoln) Lieutenant  
Marine Boat patrol  
MET Multiple Enforcement Team deputy  
N (Nora) Narcotics enforcement deputy/officer 62
P (Paul) Beat patrol deputy / school resource officer  
R (Robert) Roving patrol deputy  
Rescue Search and rescue volunteer  
S (Sam) Sergeant  
V (Victor) Citizen Volunteer Patrol unit  
W (William) Special detail deputy  
X (Xray) Traffic deputy  
Z (Zebra) SWAT deputy 61, some patrol division use


The third field contains up to two digits. For "Paul" units, this field may be divided into two subfields, [2] and [3]. When [2] is a number from 1-4, [3] signifies the patrol beat number. The following table lists values for the subfield [2].


[2] Description
0 Resident post patrol deputy
1 Night shift
2 Days shift
3 Swing (afternoon) shift
4 Cover shift
5 School resource officer
6 Watch commander who is not a sergeant
7 Outside agency


Examples:

4-P-05 ("Four-Paul-Five") is a Yucaipa County resident post deputy for the Forest Falls, Angelus Oaks, and Barton Flats areas.

8-P-08 ("Eight-Paul-Eight") is a Baker resident post deputy.

1-P-22 ("One-Paul-Twenty-Two") is a Central beat patrol unit working Beat 2 for the days shift.

70-I-7 ("Seventy-Ida-Seven") is a Coroner's Investigator.

Outside Agency Unit Designators

The following table lists some outside agency designators.


[01] Agency
25 Big Bear Municipal Water District Lake Patrol
92 San Bernardino County Probation
95 San Bernardino Community College District Police
98 San Bernardino County District Attorney's Investigators

Police Department Unit Designators

Unit designators consist of two fields [A]-[01]. The first field is assigned per the following table. The second field contains up to two digits that are specific to each officer. For example, C-17 is a police corporal. Each sworn officer typically retains the same unit designator until the next round of promotions.


[A] Description
A (Adam) Administration
Air Air support unit
B (Baker) School resource officer
C (Charlie) Corporal
D (David) Detective
E (Edward) Police explorer cadet
