Discussion of Texas Dpeartment of Public Safety's Radio Unit Numbering, prior to 12/01/2009
Prior to October 1st, 2009, there were 8 DPS Regions. DPS units were assigned a 4 digit number, with the pattern:
- ROAT
- R= Region
- O= Office (Subregion A uses an odd integer in the second position, Subregion B uses an even integer in the second position)
- A= Area (assigned to a Corporal's Area)
- T= Trooper
For example: In Region 3A one would hear 3100s, 3300s, and 3500s; in Region 3B one would hear 3200s, 3400s, and 3600s.
- 3100- Being the Region 3A Commander
- 3200- Being the Region 3B Commander
Sergeants and higher, Lt.s, Capt.s, Majors, have a third integer as a zero; Corporals have a last number of zero.
- 3X0X- Sergeants through officers
- 3XX0- Corporals
Highway Patrol Officers were then assigned a trooper number, based on their corporal's assigned area,for example, 328X would be assigned to the patrol area of THP Cpl. 3280.
Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Troopers have a third digit of either 5 or 6, depending on the Subregion (5 for Subregion A, 6 for Subregion B).
There were also 9000 unit numbers assigned to Driver's License Troopers, adminstrative personnel, Criminal Law Enforcement personnel. The second digit was the Region, and the third integer is the office number within that Region. For example, with Driver's License Troopers, the second digit is the Region, and the third integer is the office number within that Region, so 93XX, are DL Troopers in Region 3.
