New South Wales Police Service-VKG
Old Callsigns (Pre Olympic Games-2000)
These
are the old, pre 2000, VKG Callsigns, which are still sometimes used because of
an industrial dispute (or where an officer doesn’t know new code, they will use
the older system)
Remember
that many of these callsigns are the same, or similar to, the current call sign
system, as the new callsign system, was, in part, based on the old system. I
have provide both callsigns as I’ve found that in many states, (Including Vic)
country, regional and remote areas take longer to change to new systems and in
some cases never do. (Ie problems found with new Comms System so they elect to
stay on current system as with the CFA[Vic], which could have, but didn’t
change networks until three years later than the official change-over date!!!

Only
some of these callsigns remain in use (2003) and it is expected that their use
will be phased out. Observation of units whilst on the radio will be the best
ways to tell what set of callsigns are currently in use for your area.
