Moore PD radio experts...

Hi, all...

With my limited Moore PD listening experience, I've noticed that the units have callsigns in the 100's, 200's, 300's, and 400's.

Is it possible that each officer has a 2-digit callsign of their own, to which they prepend 1, 2, 3, or 4 to to indicate which district they're in for a given shift? For example, if unit 32 is working in district 3, their callsign for the shift is "332". If they are working in the first district the next day, their callsign for the shift is "132".

This may not pass the "KISS" test, but it seems plausible given that they have 4 patrol districts numbered 1 through 4.

Thanks in advance for setting me straight...

could it be the time shifts they are working?

could it be the time shifts they are working?

It could be... I've heard a department or two do that before (e.g., Cedar Point PD in Erie County, OH used to do that, and may still). However, I regularly hear a mixture of 100's, 200's, 300's, and 400's any time of the day. This leads me to believe otherwise, unless they have some big scheduling problems and have to use officers from other shifts all the time for coverage.

I'm gonna turn up the listening intensity some and start putting callsigns, locations, and shifts together and see what I can come up with. We shall see...

Just a thought: some mapping programs have a "pushpin" feature, that allows you to mark a location with information, kinda like a sticky note on a paper map. If you have one of these, you could start marking locations with date, time, and responding units (primary and backups). Accumulate enough data and a pattern should begin to emerge. I did this years ago, using a map tacked to a wall and actual Post-It notes. Signal Intelligence in it's basic form!

Thanks for the idea, Mark.... I reckon Delorme SA2005 will be useful for something after all. After awhile, if I haven't figured out the system, perhaps I could post an image here for some group collaboration.

Thanks again...

I beliveve that Moore pd accept for the suppervisors go by thier badge numbers. The suppervisors are the 400 units.

The Moore PD city website has a police district map. It shows 4 districts perhaps that helps.

Try using scanner logging software like RecAll. Then you can let it run all day and go back to check the data in like 15 minutes when you come home. In a day or so you should have it figured out by charting unit #, time, location, and backup unit #s.
