PURPOSE OF THIS ORDER:
To standardize the use of the radio communication call numbers designated and assigned to the Internal Affairs Bureau for use by the Force/Shooting Team and field investigators.
SCOPE:
The use of recognized radio call numbers for Internal Affairs Investigators is limited to only those Department-approved call numbers designated for our use. It is the responsibility of each investigator to know the unit designator and to use only approved radio call numbers when using a Department radio (MPP 7-02/010.20 Performance Standards & Training Division).
Use of only designated radio call numbers ensures that the Sheriff’s Communication Center recognizes you as an Internal Affairs Investigator in the event of a situation wherein investigators find it necessary to use either an automobile-installed or handheld radio. In the event of an emergency, concentrate on the message to be delivered and if unsure of your call number identify yourself by your unit of assignment or by name. Note: CALL NUMBERS ARE “ADAM SIX.”
DESIGNATED CALL NUMBERS:
Designated call numbers have been assigned to each investigator assigned to a Force/Shooting Team. Investigators not assigned to the Force/Shooting Team shall use the radio call number “A6S” for sergeants.
