Two different versions of Atlantic City police codes?

If you look it has two different sets of "Atlantic City Police Codes".

Is one supposed to be Atlantic County?

Also, anyone have the AC Abbr's like I believe I heard "the girlfriend wants the boyfriend 'SOW'" or something like that. AC seems to use a bunch of initials at times.

Also, are there any unit number lists? District Numbers, etc?

I'm curious who all the #-Alpha, and #-Charlie's are.

Ty

Thank you, that list does really help. I don't see much ACPD documentation online.

Alright, but do you have the unit numbers?

Alright, now that I know the codes, does anyone have the Unit numbers?

For example, I heard unit numbers like "16-41" but then I hear like "Nine-Alpha".

Who all is who? Does anybody know.

ACPD Patrol Car Unit Numbers:
Alpha - District Units - Patrol Shift “A” (8 AM to 4 PM) (Alpha +) District 1-6 + Unit A-Z
Bravo - District Units - Patrol Shift “B” (4 PM to 12 AM) (Bravo +) District 1-6 + Unit A-Z
Charlie - District Units - Patrol Shift “C” (12 AM to 8 AM) (Charlie +) District 1-6 + Unit A-Z

District 1 - Downbeach
District 2 - Chelsea
District 3 - Midtown
District 4 - Uptown & Gardners Basin
District 5 - Marina & North Side
District 6 - Venice Park & North Side

District Patrol cars normally id by just their district number plus unit letter (ex 5-Alpha or 1-Bravo) except around shift change where they identify with their patrol shift id as a prefix (ex Alpha-5-Alpha or Charlie-1-Bravo).

Other Commonly used IDs:
Delta - Detective Bureau
Echo - Community Police
India - ID Bureau
K - K-9 Section Officers
Mike - Motorcycle Officers or Accident Bureau
Sixteen - Sergeants (16)
Whisky - Walking Patrol Beats
Yankee - Bicycle Section Patrol Units
B-W - Boardwalk Patrol Beats

I have the complete list in my Philly Communications Guide (see my signature below) - but this will get you started.

Enjoy

Wow that was obvious

Holy crap, I don't know how any more obvious that could have been, LoL.

But thanks again.
