I think started last week because I had been hearing 58xx's over the weekend. Kinda threw me for a loop to be honest!
On Tues morning (11/16) Monroe Sheriff announced they were now up and live on some new system. (I didn't understand the name). Since then I've started to hear deputies with their own callsigns rather than an area callsign. Command is on the lower end on 58-XX. So far I've only noted this on the Sheriff. Other departments don't seem to have changed.

Yes we are well aware that the Co number for Monroe Co is 58. Previously, 58xx was never used. Sheriff Patrols were numbered 100s, 200s, 300s.
There are many agencies that either didn't or don't use that format. This is new for MONROE County.

Didn't Monroe Co at one time use an alpha-numeric designation before like 1 Adam, 2 Adam etc?

Ok that's what I thought. I seem to recall they had used that for quite awhile before moving to P25. This is the 3rd change since I started listening.
Back in the day there was a unit simply referred to as "Frenchtown". The Charles units I believe were MSP. It seems like there were areas 1, 2, 3 with adam and boy designators. I don't recall david being used with sheriff, only with the city units.
