Nice recent PDF maps of San Diego Police Beats (with the brand new Northwestern beats) and the Fire Battalion areas, with all Fire Stations shown also.

You can get the Los Angeles Police Department beat maps (Basic Car Maps, as they call them) from their website.

Go to LAPD Newsroom and click on the map to see the overall map of areas, then select your desired area from the dropdown menu. In the local area page that takes you to, you'll find down in the lower left area of the page a 'basic car map' download/view. They're all .pdf files.

The official LA Fire Department page has a fair map of all fire station locations, .gif file at: LAFD Station Map

I took the San Diego fire maps from this website SDFD Battalion Maps and added them to Google Earth for one whole file. It is a .KMZ file but I had to zip it in order to upload it here.

Yep still works. And the 9/17/2011 version is the most recent (publicly available) SanGIS beat map as far as I know. Now if only SD Sheriff would follow suit. :)

Thanks for the map. San Diego sure has incorporated in some interesting patterns. The portion of the city located along the U.S./Mexico boundary is the most interesting being separated by a distance from the rest of the city. Most metro areas are full of similar patterns. I have a friend who is a truck captain on the Glendale, CA Fire Department. He speaks of streets where some places the boundary is down the center line, then further on it is on the curb line of one side of the street with the sidewalk being in another jurisdiction and then still further on it includes the sidewalk. Then there are areas of small, unincorporated islands that may only be a few square blocks.

San Diego County must have some similar situations. The fires of 2003 and 2007 must have created some interesting problems as they rapidly moved from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

In the case of the San Ysidro extension of San Diego City that you cite, there is a 100-yard-wide swath of San Diego City land down the center of San Diego Bay between the Coronado-Imperial Beach city limits and the National City-Chula Vista City Lmits, to keep San Ysidro contiguous to the main body of the City.

That map is interesting and certainly useful, although I wonder if the boundaries have changed since it is dated 2004. I'll print it out and see if the radio dispatches seem to match up over the next few weeks. Thanks!

"Residential structure fire, for Battalion 1, Battalion 2, Truck..."

I'm all-ears if anyone else has any useful maps/documents too.
