Was parked in the Wellington St carpark, in the secure section on the hospital side.

Marked BA Falcon ute with canopy on the rear.

Tom

This Ute belongs to the Vehicle Investigation Unit otherwise known as vehicle examiners.

Also the Police Escort Section is changing from TB10X to TE40X.

AY201 - Is the district highway patrol car. Occasionally seen sneaking through Midland on it's way up to the Brand Hwy going for a run.

chrisssssssssss,

VF624 is a Mitsubishi Express secure van, I posted a pic of it on oz-pol last week.

Nothing like a ford transit van, same as GC112 and GC121.

Heard TP302 last night to SCGH something about a deceased person, the list says this is Firearms Branch.

I heard TP307 last night on the city channel - Who are they??? He was talking to VKI last night and said they are never on CAD - cause all they do is apparanlty visit hospitals all the time regarding MVA's with deaths.

Can anyone confirm who these guys are? Are they the one's that inform your family if you die in an accident??????

Hmmmmm...

The original callsign list that we have lists the TPs as:

TP10x - Video Support
TP20x - Radio Support
TP30x - Firearms Branch
TP40x - Coronial Inquiry
TP50x - Property Tracing

Firearms branch sounds a bit odd for doing hospital visits. I would have thought that would be more the scene of TP40x...

(Unless they had a dyslexic callsign moment

or the 300's and 400's have swapped ...)

OK folks, here's the updated list with information from the last page or two's worth of posts added. I hope I managed to capture it all ...

You'll notice that I haven't included information about individual vehicles. This is deliberate for two reasons 1) we'd need to update the list every time a vehicle got traded in and 2) it would make the list too long and complicated.

If people see the need for a "what is this vehicle" type list, then we can always start that as a separate project after this one's done

Anyway, on to the current list changes:

CALLSIGNS TO ADD AFTER VERIFICATION:

AU101-102 : Unknown
AU501-505 : SAS ?
TB217 : Multanova Supervisor
TB401-40x : Booze buses
TQ301-304 : Bike Education Unit (Is this TB126-130 renamed?)
UQ100 : ROG Base
WT85x : Joondalup Police Academy Security
XH31x : Unknown

CALLSIGNS VERIFIED AS CORRECT:

CD60x : Prison Unit
Ax2xx : District traffic cars
Ax25x : District crash car?
TE201-212 : Traffic Operations Group (Assume Cars)
TE40x : Traffic Escort (Was TB10x)
TE700-7xx : Traffic Operations Group (Assume Bikes)
TK205 : Canine section drug detection dog
UQ101-116 : Regional Operations Group
UQ200-206 : Police Transit Unit
UQ301-302 : Perth Watch House
UQ60x : Regional Investigation Unit

REMOVE THESE STATIONS:

GN Nedlands
NB Ballajura
JS South Perth
JV Victoria Park
ZA Maylands
ZJ Innaloo
ZN North Perth

ADD THESE STATIONS:

HB Ballajura
JK Kensington

VEHICLE CLASSIFICATIONS:

Class 1 - Fully marked Police Special
Class 2 - Unmarked Police Special
Class 3 - Vans, Motorcycles, etc
Class 4 - Vehicles with no lights or sirens and four wheel drives.
