SA POLICE CALLSIGNS
Callsigns for Metropolitan patrols are allocated from the station they come from followed by the patrol number.
For example a Christies Beach general patrol could be Christies 10. Traffic patrols have a 0 in front of the number eg; Christies 010 would be a Christies Beach traffic patrol.
Higher ranking officers also have a different prefix
Sergeant = Vixen
Senior Sergeant = Mitre
Trojan = Inspector
Baron = Chief Inspector
e.g. a Sergeant at Christies Beach would be Christies Vixen 10
