Patrol Stations
10 - Headquarters office in Visalia covering Visalia, Tulare, Goshen, Ivanhoe, Woodlake, Exeter, Farmersville
WA6YLB-> The HQ sub breaks down into areas, such as 10A, 10B, 14X etc. Anything that starts with an 1 is from HQ.

All officers and admin officers are issued individual ID numbers. For instance, officers that are assigned to the Porterville Sub station "20" will have a specific number - 200 is the sub, 201 is the LT, 202-205 are Sargents, then officers fill in numbers starting after the Sargents. This is the same for all the subs.
Detectives have simular numbers, but are in different numbered groups.
The Sheriff's Department dispatches for the following police departments
Exeter using radio numbers 12E or 800-820
WA6YLB-> Actually, 800 (the Exeter PD itself), through 829.
Farmersville using radio numbers 12F or 821-840
WA6YLB_> this should say "830" through "859"
Woodlake using radio numbers 12W or 841-869
WA6YLB -> as of July 1, 2012, Woodlake has stopped after hours and week end dispatching
with Tulare Co Sheriff. Their new unit ID's are W1 (William 1) through W15 or so. I am not sure how high the value goes - I havent seen the officer list yet. The City of Porterville PD has been doing after hours dispatching. When both agencies are off regular hours, their city channels (Lindsay and Woodlake) are tied together, so that what ever Woodlake is doing, you hear it on Lindsays channel etc.
Lindsay using radio numbers 20L, or 870-899
WA6YLB -> as of July 1, 2012, Lindsay PD and Lindsay City Fire has stopped after hours and week end dispatching with Tulare Co Sheriff and Tulare Co Fire (FireComm) respectivily. Their new unit ID's are L1 (Lincoln 1) through L15 or so. I am not sure how high the value goes - I havent seen the officer list yet. The City of Porterville PD has been doing after hours dispatching. When both agencies are off regular hours, their city channels (Lindsay and Woodlake) are tied together, so that what ever Woodlake is doing, you hear it on Lindsays channel etc. Lindsay's PD officers are also the firemen in Lindsay - they serve a dual role.
admin numbers 100-160
WA6YLB-> the numbers go beyond 160... almost to 200. Visalia HQ Patrol Sargents are 160-166 etc.
Station commanders use their station and 1, for example Porterville Commander is 201, the exception is HQ patrol who is 161.

DA in the 1200 range
Reserves in the 900 range
Jails in the 6000 range[/QUOTE]
