I don't see it listed for kanawha county dunno
Sissonville is covered by WVSP and Kanawha Co Sheriff Dept. That area does not have a municipal PD.

Are they both on the state system and do you know what sheriff id covers it
Well the data on Kanawha Co. and WVSP uses convention and WVSIRN. As of the units, I can find out. It is usually which ever one is in the area at the time of a call. Are You from that area?

Sorry for all questions new to the area. Yea I heard metro on the conventational.
I live in Cross Lanes, which is near Sissonville, and I might be able to help a little.
The Kanawha County/Charleston Metro 911 has a talk group ID (6927, Kanawha County OES 911) for the State's P25 trunked system, but so far they are not using it for dispatch. They are using their conventional frequency (155.625 NFM, CTCSS 179.9) exclusively for dispatching.
Metro 911 does use the P25 trunked system to converse with local police if the police call them on it, but they do not initiate calls on it - at least my scanner says it's gotten no hits for their TGID.
Sissonville VFD (Station 26) usually is dispatched using 155.145 FM (DCS 343), identified in the database as Kanawha VFD Dispatch 1.
During Friday's snowstorm and flurry of accidents, I picked up a little bit of traffic on what is identified as Kanawha VFD Fire-Ground 3 (154.28 FM, DCS 103.5). It was a fire truck trying to coordinate with someone on the interstate to block traffic, but I didn't catch where they were.
I have not yet heard any Kanawha County Sheriff's unit identified clearly as such when I have been listening to the scanner, and I have wondered about it. I have heard WV State Police talking to their own dispatchers, not the Metro 911 dispatchers, so I've been wondering whether the Kanawha Co. Sheriff's Office has its own dispatchers. I know the Sheriff's Office has its own TGID (6120), but I haven't gotten any hits on it, and I've had it programmed into my scanner since 12/26/2012.
Just a little extra info:
Even though I included the squelch tones/codes from the RR database above, I don't have them in my scanner. I have the appropriate squelch mode set, but I set the tone/code for "Search." With my scanner set this way, it unsquelches as soon as it gets a transmission so I don't miss as much of the first part of a transmission as I would otherwise. This works because no one else is using any of these frequencies. At least not yet.
I hope this helps - and welcome to the area!

Figuring out which calls are the Kan. Co. Deputies
Actually, I was listening to the scanner a little while ago, and I heard a unit called "Kanawha 94" on the Metro 911 analog frequency (155.625 FM, with CTCSS registering as 179.9). I could tell from the conversation that this was a cop, and he was in Cross Lanes, so I guess this was a Kanawha County Sheriff's Deputy.
I also heard "headquarters" call "Kanawha 4" (94?) on the Metro 911 frequency (CTCSS still is 179.9), and later I heard "Kanawha 94" and "Kanawha 25" talking to the 911 dispatcher instead of "headquarters."
How confusing.
I've heard these "Kanawha" units before, but for some reason I thought they were EMS. Boy, I must be dumb!

Ok, I should have told You this in the beginning. All Sheriff Units are 2 digits and the WVSP Units are 3 digit numbers. At times You will hear Metro dispatch both on 155.625. In both Units, the lower the number the higher the senority and rank. When You hear single numbers, that is high ranking officers.

Hey Scan Fan
Nice to meet you and Welcome to RR! I'll just add a little bit to what as already been posted with regards to Metro 911 & Kanawha Co Law agencies:
The Kanawha Co Sheriff's Dept (based on when I've been listening while down in that area) is using both VHF 155,625 and SIRN TGs 6120 and 6125 (Special OPS 2). All dispatches go out over VHF but Metro can put it over both simultanously if the choose. I think for now they are just using the SIRN to communicate between themselves and with Metro when they are in a dead spot for VHF. As already mentioned "Headquarters" is the Kanawha Co Sheriff's Office. Due to 155.625 being a repeater all agencies can talk between each other and hear all the traffic.
With regards to State Police they mainly go through their dispatch for information (TG 9011) but they do monitor 155.625 for calls that come in through Metro. If I'm not mistaking S Chas SP Dispatch use to monitor 155.625 as well and even give high priority calls to Metro (by radio) that happen to come through their office. I haven't heard that in a while though.
73s and hope this helps you some. Just my 2 cents worth All other info has already been covered
