If you don't know what your listening to it usually goes department radio code, unit designation, unit number

Example

32Paul4

32 is Upper Uwchlan Township
Paul is the radio designation for Patrolman
4 is the Patrolmans number

Sam = Sergeant
Paul = Partoman
David = Detective
Xray = Motorcycle unit

Sweet info. We can't pick up the tac channels can we?

so we are only listening to the lady who gets the call, then reports it to the officers, then talks back and forth? it would be cool if we could listen to cops talk back and forth while chasing a suspect.
