In addition, there are also radio call signs that consist of two parts. These are usually permanently assigned numbers for some specialized units, all supervisors, and all patrol section deputies involved in off duty situations. For example, the traffic unit and detectives only have two part call signs such as T6 and X5. Sergeants and above have permanent call signs such as S22 or L13 for use while on and off duty, and a patrol deputy has a permanent "paul number" such as P47 for use while not on shift.
