[Scan-DC] MPDC unit numbers

[M Loren Copsey]

The Complete Informative Guide to MPDC unit numbers:

1-7 unit numbers with three following numbers (the PSA cars) 1011-707?.  
Any PSA car ending in "9" is a Master Patrol Officer. Any Cruiser number  
(1010-7070) is a PSA Sergeant. Lieutenants have three digit cruiser  
numbers corresponding to their PSA (101-707).

Captains and Commanders of districts utilize a two digit system. Cruiser  
11 is the 1st district Commander. 52 and 53 are 5th district Captains. A  
watch Commander is Cruiser 100-700. The Nighthawk (Chief of the District  
at night) is for some reason Cruiser 28.

Cruiser 9xxx can be anything from Crime Scene to Communications. 9239 is a  
Crime Scene cruiser. These cruisers are also Administrative cruisers like  
the SOMB (Security Officers Management Branch) or Office of Organizational  
Development.

8600 series and 8800 series cruisers are SOD. This can be anything from  
K-9 to ERT or EOD.

Cruiser 1 is of course Chuckie himself. 2,3 and 4 are various assistant  
Chiefs and ROC Chiefs.

Any Cruiser identified as 1D(David)11 through 7D(David)99 is a detective  
cruiser.

Then you have the various Powershift, Focus Mission, and Streetcrime  
cruisers that identify as their title with a number following.

Station Radios (District Station Personnel) identify as a multiple of  
1000. (Station 1000 through 7000)
