Fire

San Bernardino County Fire

Fire VHF system: Four repeater pairs are being placed in service countywide at multiple locations (see freq list). These VHF narrow-band repeaters will replace the wide-band "color" channels that tie back to Comm Center (fire dispatch). Future use of the "color" channels (Red, Yellow, Gray, Green, Brown) will be tactical unit-unit only if needed due to non-800mhz mutual aid responders enroute to assist. The new "County 1 thru 4" will not normally be kept patched into the 800mhz system. They can be patched "on-demand" per incident needs to give mutual aid resources access to working 800mhz talkgroups. You may hear them patched to a working fireground 800mhz talkgroup, or simply simulcast command traffic from dispatchers.

San Bernardino County Sheriff

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]
Patrol	Central	Central County	1
Patrol	Central	Grand Terrace Contract City	12
Patrol	Central	Loma Linda Contract City	15
Patrol	West Foothill	West Foothill County	3

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.

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.
