Hi,

I am searching the web, but not finding the codes used by the Oakland, CA fire and police deptartments. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

OPD Codes can be found here: http://www.bearcat1.com/radioca.htm (Just scroll down to Oakland.)

OFD Station Assignments can be found here: http://www.scancal.org/alameda/oakland_aparatus.html

OFD just uses plaintext and common abbreviations. i.e. - AOR = Available on the radio, ETOH = Under the influence of alcohol, etc. etc.

Btw, it took me a while listening to OPD but Patrol 1, 2 & 3 are all dispatch positions for different parts of the city. P1 is downtown, P2 and P3 are south/east of downtown and seperated by MacArthur but I can't remember which one is which... listen to some addresses and you'll get it. Patrol 4 & 5 are mostly car-to-car, and the Service 1 & 2 tgs are used to run license plates and update on incidents. Late at night, the city patches some of the dispatch tgs together into tg 00-001 which becomes Citywide dispatch, and 02-011 which is citywide service.(?)

Enjoy,
