Orange County Police unit numbering system

[EMT111 149]

Has anyone noticed that Town of Woodbury PD and Town of Warwick PD seem to have units with the same number? Woodbury PD has at least a 221 and a 224, and Warwick PD has the whole series from 201 to 224. I would think this would be an issue, even though they are on separate radio frequencies, and since all of these vehicles have AVLs, you think the county would have caught it

Maybrook and the T/Cornwall as well as the V/Montgomery and V/Cornwall on Hudson share the same unit designators as well. What's worse is at during the midnight shift OC911 dispatches all of these agencies and you realistically will have two 421's or two 404's talking to couny at the same time. The way the County designates the difference is by saying CORNWALL 404 versus MAYBROOK 404.

Like everything else is the County, this is ass backwards.

Warwick and Crawford also have matching numbers 210-215ish

Yes, they distinguish them over the radio by saying the town name; in CAD they distinguish them by using a two digit code in front of the unit number. For example Crawford 215 is in CAD as 215. Warwick 215 is in CAD as WT215

Several years ago, the County asked the Village of Monroe PD to change their Dispatch number from "410" to "450" and their cars from "411 - 419" to "451-460" because their unit numbers overlapped with Town of Cornwall PD units. As far as I am aware, Monroe PD had no issue changing their unit their unit number.

The town name is part of everyone's callsign technically and agencies not dispatched primarily by the county have their agency ID before their unit number in the CAD system.

Some other agencies have changed also Village of Chester which was in the 300s before are now in the 700s as well as Deerpark which was 220-229 and is now in the 900s.

Village of Chester is actually still a conflict. Now it is a conflict with the DA investigators, but they are so rarely on the radio it doesn't really matter.

Orange County Sheriff's have overlapping numbers with C/Middletown and C/Port Jervis Police. Who are both (MDTN and Port) on the same radio frequency, just with different PL tones

V/Florida (347, 348, 349) is in the same numbering scheme as T/Newburgh (3xx series) but different radio systems. Same for Town of Highlands (11X units and City of Newburgh (1XX units)

Yeah I honestly couldn't say that I even knew that they had radios.

What does "SOG" stand for?

[v85 212]

SOG is special operations group, which is the sheriff's tactical team. Where have you heard that as a unit number though?
