callsign

Hey guys, I'm wondering what callsigns the LAFD and LAPD use for patrol units, Does LAFD use a 1-UNIT-00 system or? Also, what does 1 in front mean, what do the -00 numbers present? What does Lincoln, Adam, David mean?

Hello All, I own the Kinetic SBS-3 and have been "watching" the air traffic over Arizona for a couple of years now. I've been slowly connecting up specific aircraft tail numbers and their radio callsigns or IDs. I'm hoping that some of you may be able to help me ID some of the aircraft I see...
