I think the OP is asking if any more talkgroups exist for Suffolk Sheriff. Only one talkgroup (TGID 1033) has been identified so if more are in use, no one has identified them & submitted them to the DB.
OP: What make & model scanner are you using? You could always enable ID Search (Uniden) or add a wildcard talkgroup (Whistler) to track talkgroups unknown to the database to determine if any additional are in use on the system. Have you at any point heard dispatch or a unit say "Switch to...[X]"? This is usually an indicator that more talkgroup(s) may exist but some agencies encrypt their tac channels & if that were the case no scanner would be able to track that particular talkgroup. Encryption is not always the case but it's probable

Here's a tip. If you look at the "Mode" column, any talkgroup listed as mode "DE" or "TE" are encrypted full time (De or Te with lowercase "e" are partially-encrypted). Mode "A", "D" and "T" talkgroups are "in the clear" and can be tracked

There are NO encrypted talkgroups for Suffolk. Everything is in the clear. Dispatch 1, Investigations, Sector 1 Talk around and Sector 2 Talk around are where most of the action is on the LE side. Fire and Rescue uses Dispatch 1 for the primary dispatch and then assigns a TAC channel for the responding units to use. However, this is not always the case for strictly EMS calls. They stay on Dispatch 1.
The only encryption on the Suffolk / Isle of Wight system is on all LE agencies in the county and some Fire & Rescue.
