Radio Communications

In Summer 2001, most county agencies, which include police, fire, lifeguards, animal control, and public works, have switched operations to the 800 MHz LTR Multi-Net II trunked radio system.

A P25 CAI digital radio system is being built and is expected to be online sometime in late 2008 into 2009. Civil Defense and Public Works will join the system first, followed by Police, Fire, and Ambulance.

Radio Call Signs

For patrol operations, Maui police call signs consists of three parts: the district number, a watch designator, and a master beat.

District Number: Always the first part of the call sign, ranging from 1 through 6.

Watch Designator: The second part of the call sign, which can have A, B, C, D, or E (see below for watch schedules). This designation is used most often during shift changes in order to differentiate similar units -- (i.e. 1A21 from 1B21). The letter designation is seldom used during the actual shift itself when there is no shift change.

Master Beat: The third part of the call sign, denotes the units primary area of patrol. The first digit in the beat number is the sector number.

Other Call Signs

Tango (Traffic Units), Zulu (Community Policing)
Supervisors use three digit callsigns on the air.

Work Schedules

The patrol division works three shifts: Alpha (2230-0715), Bravo (0630-1515), and Charlie (1430-2215).

Swing-shifts are denoted by callsigns with a "Delta" or "Echo".
