New call signs North Coast Region

[OIC_Napster]

Is this typical statewide or just something redcliffe and caboulture are doing?

I suspect that it might be the start of things to come statewide - once the bugs are ironed out, that is...
Doesnt sound like sunny coast has changed, strange, since they operate out of a room next door to Cab/Red and use the same CAD system.

Did red/cab move to the sunny coast?

The regions have changed and they have since moved to Southern Region, prior to this the Redcliffe Comms room was decommissioned and the communications centre was moved to PCC Maroochydore (Correct me if wrong please). At present i think they are still running off PCC Maroochydore however they should be moving to PCC Toowoomba eventually i would imagine.

Is this a trial of a new system, the first of a roll out of a new system, or is Redcliffe/Caboulture just doing their own thing? Just to add to the confusion, the other day I heard VKR asking for an A car to take a job. I should have paid attention to the location but I didn't, but that's eaxctly how it was phrased, "VKR to an available A car for a job at ....." A crew with the callsign commencing with Mike Alpha --- (numbers I don't recall) called up on air and took the job (I also don't recall what the job was). I am assuming this was a GD's crew because I can't imagine any other units taking jobs. I am wondering if maybe stations are being given letters, just as an example MA might be Redcliffe whilst caboulture might be MB, just as an example. Whatever they are doing its pretty confusing. Hopefully for you guys who live up there and listen in often, they might find this new system too confusing and go back to the old way. I have listened to other state police, and I always liked how QPS operated their callsigns as they were easy to identify and understand who was what and where. Now I just can't keep up and don't enjoy listening in as much now.

MA 140 is caboolture duty officer (cb 140)

So glad I am not the only one struggling with the new call signs. Does anyone know who MM, MO and MP are.

I heard MG-760 a few nights ago - He was in Harlin. Regarding a B'cast re a wanted veh from Cooyar.
Not sure if he is based out there, or was just out there working the roads.

I have a small spreadsheet going, now have over 46 call-signs, with areas referenced for jobs. Very time consuming.

hehe yeah, you can catch on pretty quick to what old-to-new is, the patrol areas have not changed
just the outlying single car crews and specialist units new calls that need clarification.

That makes sense, I've just updated an earlier post with listings, so appears the single unit outlying areas all operate in the 7xx, rather than station-vtype-numb like the rest of the region. So, 740 Woodford, 750 Kilcoy, and 760 Moore.

BT hasn't changed from before, anything beginning with that call sign is a Brisbane specialist unit.. Rail Squad, PSRT, Bomb Sqaud, Doggies, Speed Camera

BT is Bris spec unit, you'll often "see" brisbane based state traffic command (fancy name for highway patrol ) BA9xx in the Moreton region, so when the hoons think the only traffic car is over on Bribie doing RBT, they shouldnt be surprised to see BA9xx take their sorry arses off the road, in say, Caboolture, BA's often sit around the Bribie exit on the highway, and big fish. I've also seen them often on morayfield rd near the main shopping centre, and further south near bunnings, but you rarely hear them, they are the silent assassins

I'm totally lost as well. I'm wondering either one of two things:
1. Mike Golf is a Gold Coast Unit (Golf being the area designator for the unit, and numeric callsigns are as normal)
2. Mike Golf designates a GD unit, and numeric callsigns changed to station number and vehicle number)
Not sure which is correct here.
