Some more changes in beats and other procedures:
45xx Series beats are the "special employment" officers. These are officers that are on overtime and cover areas of the city as designated by Headquarters and are assigned to the Zones of their assignment(s). It usually consists of a team similar to Tact Teams:
(Ex....4512 Sergeant...4512A-4512E...officers assigned).
41 (N,C,S) 50A-E Series beats are the officers that were "reassigned" from desk positions. The pattern is thay all start with "41"...then depending on Detective Area (N-North, C-Central, S-South), followed by a series of 2 numbers (ex.50, 51), then a letter if they're an officer or no letter if it's the Sergeant (Similar to what I mentioned in previous paragraph).
(Ex..41N46B...would be assigned to one of the districts in the Area North. 41C50B would be assigned to one of the districts in the Area Central districts, 41S58B would be assigned to one of the districts in the Area South districts). Keep in mind, the Detective Areas have changed and you might here a Central and North unit on the same Zone, working different districts.
4710-4740 Series Units are now the Canine Units. They have changed their radio signatures.
S-Sam is a new disposition code i've been hearing the past few days. This is a new "response" by CPD to "non-in progress" type calls. I haven't seen an order on this, but if an officer is sent to a location and it meets the criteria for the Alternate Response Section (ARPS), then then officer can refer them to 3-1-1. You might here "111 code this a 19-S(Sam)". The dispatcher might even refer the call to a supervisor prior to dispatch for the disposition code too.
