Ok, I'm new to the Waterloo area this week. I was listening to Waterloo PD, Cedar Falls PD, and Blackhawk County sheriff.
Can someone explain to me the unit numbering so I know what agency is talking? So far, it sounds to me like all of those departments are dispatched through the sheriff's department? Is that true?
I'm used to cedar rapids where everybody had a 3 number PIN that they used, and the 1st number corresponded to the area of town they were in. or in marion, whenever they added new officers, they just gave them the next number inline, like it starts at 110, and the newest guy is 174. Now here, I keep hearing '7 paul 71' '6 george niner' and stuff like that. HELP!!!
