Yankee Units

I sometimes hear OPP cars that are called Alfa on the Oxford County talkgroup. It seems that these cars generally patrol the 401.

Tonite I heard a OPP car using the prefex "Yankee." I dont remember hearing this before. Anyone in the SW are know what these cars are and what they do?

Yankee units are the ERT members once they are assigned to an event/incident.
I hear them on the TAC talkgroups but only when one of the cars are in range of the tower I am picking up.
On their way back to their "home" detachments they usually switch back to regular OPS but retain the call sign until they park it.

That's right I heard that call sign during a stand off a few months back when they were called in
