I would like to enquire as to the letter abbreviations on callsigns in the Devon and Cornwall Police.
1. Does each station have its own abbreviation or is it allocated per area, such as North Devon and West Cornwall?
2. Could you possibly provide the abbreviations for each station/unit within DCP? (Just the letters, not the numbers)
