For a while I've heard O-2xx and O-K-xx units working freeways in Troop 2. Now they seem to have moved to Troop 3 Southwest and are working at least I-80 there. Any idea who these units may be? The O-K-xx units range from O-K-5 to O-K-31.

Thank you!

Ocean is Operations
Ocean King is Operations K-9 units

From what I've been told, there are no longer using some of the multiple other alpha prefixes.... ?

Please correct me if I am wrong

I've heard "DA" (Fire Marshal) and "FW" (US Fish & Wildlife) IDs recently (within the last month) and "O-K" (from several different units - O-K-5, O-K-21, etc) today

That makes sense! Thank you :) I believe a number of the O-K units are working with the HIT team. I want to save I heard "SAVE" mentioned by the Troop 2 dispatcher last year (as in "Attention all SAVE units") but I can't confirm that ;)

Yes, O-K (King) Units are K-9's used as needed anywhere. SAVE Units are O-300 Series, used frequently in Troop 3.
