Does any one know what a Code 9 is ?

I don't know too much about the job codes, however...

Oscar 1 is base
Callsigns starting with REV are the revenue officers, another words the guys standing at the gates checking tickets
Delta callsigns are the paddywagons that drive up and down next to the train line and stop at stations to collect / arrest people

Not sure about the rest

A code 7 is a request for all available units to make their way to a location.. usually a messy sudden death.

A code 9 is a request for non-urgent backup..

A code 10 is a URGENT request for backup, usually used when having the tar kicked out of you.

Those are the ones I know.

Transit Officer operational codes:

Code 1: vehicle patrol
Code 2: operational enquiry
Code 3: transport offender
Code 4: paperwork/office duties
Code 5: foot/station patrol
Code 6: train patrol
Code 7: train vs pedestrian (fatal or not)
Code 8: train vs vehicle
Code 9: urgent backup
Code 10: emergency backup all staff
code 11: ambulance required
code 12: arrest
code 13: other duties

hope this helps

Hi HL 101,

This is something that I am not too sure of myself so don't quote me on this, however I have heard Sierra being referred to a few times by Oscar 1 as a Supervisor. Most likely a supervisor of multiple Tango and possibly Delta teams.

Hope this helps,
Geoff

Thanks Geoff,cleared that up for me

Sierra callsigns are for on duty Supervisor/s for the night.

They are allocated according to their lines, much like the Delta callsigns are allocated

Delta/Sierra 1: Fremantle
Delta/Sierra 2: Outer Armadale/Armadale Supervisor
Delta/Sierra 3: Inner Armadale/Perth Supervisor (Delta 3 starts from Perth)
Delta/Sierra 4: Midland
Delta/Sierra 5: Clarkson
Delta/Sierra 6: No attached Callsign
Delta/Sierra 7: Inner Mandurah/Secondary Perth Supervisor (Delta 7 starts from Perth)
Delta/Sierra 8: Central Mandurah/No attached Callsign
Delta/Sierra 9: Outer Mandurah/Mandurah Supervisor

Thanks very much for that insight kilmo, that certainly clears things up a lot.

Its great to have your experience & input on this forum.

Geoff

S.A.U is actually S.R.U (Southern Rail Unit - A WAPOL unit that works on the railway)
Bravo Whiskey = Bench Warrant.
