Police callsigns
Dave Horton
I was just wondering if any of you could help to identify any of the
callsigns you often hear on police transmissions and identify the location
also. I know of Alpha Zulu being Gravesend (Kent) police and Alpha Kilo
possibly being Dartford patrol. I think also Papa Yankee maybe Bromley in
Kent. There are several frequencies (for the time being anyway) that i can
pick up also around East London and Essex. This would be useful to know just
for interests sake.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

might be on the metradio site,.
as for essex, best bet is the main proma files or a scanning book.
essex certainly has not changed in 20yrs.

Why not go into your local police station and ask?
This is public domain info.

getting police divisional information is the
"national police almanac"
you will find it in the larger county or reference librarys
fascinating book,even helps with prison identification/and other type of
police ie all the various military police
if you email direct if are not a member of proma and i will see what i can
find
but its easy enough to join proma,i thought you were a member???

from "Dave Horton" <d...@dhorton.fsworld.co.uk> contains these words:
The police use callsigns in other places. "No Waiting" cones often will
have the callsign of the town written on them - to stop other towns
nicking them! Any equipment in a police vehicle, like torches, signs
etc, will have the vehicle's callsign written on it - again to stop
other people nicking it! So just keep your eyes open and you can pick
up a lot of information.

Thank you to you all for your help and info. Paul, are there other proma
groups which have information on the met radio for example? I'm sure i've
seen it mentioned before.
Thanks once again,
Dave

I think Paul is referring to the "Police & Constabulary Almanac" which is
published annually in February by R Hazell & Co at about £27. You can get it
from Amazon or any bookstore which takes orders but as Paul says, you may be
lucky enough to find an up-to-date copy in the reference section your library.
Some forces are a bit stingy on the info they allow to be published but others
give almost complete callsign schemes for many of their divisions and/or fixed
locations and where they don't there's often enough detail and structure there
to make a good stab at working it out for yourself.

even looking at police websites can be a help sometimes
ie on the Met site there was also a list of police stations amd opening
times etc,with each one the letter callsign was there.
