Cuyahoga County Police & Fire Identifier List

This list represents an agreed upon list of unit identifiers for Cuyahoga County public safety forces.  The police department list has been used for years within the county, while the fire department list has been introduced more recently.

Police Departments:

1.    The localities in red, while located in Geauga County, are included in this list because they have been or are dispatched by the Chagrin Falls Police Department...

2.    The localities in blue, use another numbering system for their radio traffic, sometimes they are the officers LEADS ID while others are simply just another manner of identification.
