I dont monitor PBSO but I monitor BSO 24/7 and they call dispatch by saying their own callsign...I'd assume PB woulb be the same. For instance, a deputy would say "25 alpha 3" to get the dispatchers attention. The dispatcher would recognize this deputy by repeating the callsign. Then the deputy would proceed with whatever he/she needs to say.
I don't mean to insult your knowledge, but in case u didn't know - in the example above, the "25" is the district the deputy works in
"alpha" is the shift (could be bravo or charlie shifts or different IDs for higher ranks or special units, ie - delta=sgt, papa=helicopter...)
and "3" is the deputy's unit # in the lineup.
Make sense or did I confuse more?

They ID on the radio by Zone and either A or B shift when they overlap.
Off duty units use their 4 digit employee number to ID themselves.
This is their most southern districts in Boca:

Check out www.scannerdude.com It is a must have for scanner listeners in South Florida. Also, seflorida on yahoogroups has alot of info/people in the know.
The website for PSBO is www.pbso.org On the top click "Site Map" the "Field Operations" and Patrol is divided by Norh, Central and South. If you click in "south" for example, and District 7 which is the unincorporated Boca area, you'll se the map that KS4VT posted. The actual patrol zones like F31, F32 is how they identify. For example, a trafic stop would be "Fox 31 ten-fifty..." Dispatch answers "Fox 31..." then the deputy says the plate/location, etc.
If dispatch calls a unit for a call they'll say the unit then signal..."Fox 32, Signal 22"
100 units are Captains and above. 100 is the Sheriff. 200's are Watch Commanders (Lieutenants), 300's Sergeants, the others (500, 600, etc) are Detectives, OCB, TAC, etc. Contract units will say their contract.."Boca West 2"..."Boca Falls" etc. 4 digit units are off-duty.

This is a partial listing of PBSO designators from the East Central Florida Scanning Page (one of the best sites I've seen covering any region in this country):

It's incomplete, but it's a start...
