Each KCSO talkgroup serves a specific purpose. Guidelines for use of these talkgroups are described in this manual section.
#The word talkgroup is used in place of channel on 800MHz radios.
#Tactical channels are to be used in accordance to the guidelines set forth in G.O. 13.00.000.
#*They may be used for car-to-car traffic as well.
#Listed below are the talkgroups available to KCSO personnel. Some talkgroups are only available to specific units:

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Simplex talkgroups do not use a repeater and can only be heard by radios that are in direct line of site of each other. KCSO does not have any encrypted talkgroups.

===Use of the Mutual Aid Radio Sysetem (MARS) Frequency===
The King County law enforcement Mutual Aid Radio System (MARS) is used as a common channel to allow communications between public safety personnel or agencies who do not share other common channels or radio system technology. MARS is primarily used for tactical coordination between two or more agencies.
<ol>
<li>King County Sheriff’s Office Communications shall monitor and assign MARS usage on a priority basis.
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha">
<li>Clearance to use MARS can be made directly over the MARS talk group itself.</li>
<li>King County users can access MARS by selecting that talk group on their radio.</li>
<li>MARS shall not be substituted for other car-to-car talk groups except in emergencies.</li>
</ol></li>
<li>The Air Support Unit shall monitor the MARS talk group when in service. Deputies may contact Guardian One on MARS.</li>
<li>Except in emergencies, all users shall obtain the dispatchers permission before using MARS.
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha">
<li>The radio call assignment shall consist of the name of the jurisdiction, followed by the radio call number (i.e., "King County 2 King 1, "Issaquah 139," Tukwila Tom 3," etc.).</li>
<li>Base station assignments shall consist of the name of the jurisdiction, followed by the word Radio (i.e., "Valley Com Radio," "King County Radio," “SPD Radio,” etc.).</li>
</ol></li></ol>

===Simplex Mutual Aid Talkgroups===
The Regional 800 MHz Public Safety Communications System has several "simplex" talk groups. A “simplex" talk group is also known as a "direct" channel. Basically that means that it is a non-repeated frequency that a radio uses to "talk" and "listen" on the same frequency and operates strictly on a line-of-sight basis. The range that the radio will transmit or receive is limited by the radio signals ability to travel in a straight line without obstacles and is based on the power output of the radio. "Simplex" talk groups have a very limited range and their signals generally do not reach the Communications Centers. It is quite possible to hear only one half of a simplex radio conversation, depending on your proximity to one or both of the radios in use.

==Final Classification Reporting (FCR) system==
Many police activities Department members become involved in or have reported to, do not require an incident report. However, with few exceptions, a record is required for all police actions. To fulfill this need for information, the Final Classification Reporting (FCR) system was developed. FCR reporting is required for all police incidents handled by Department members.


<ol><li>The FCR system consists of three (3) distinct classifications that identify the nature of the incident, the disposition of the incident and the hazard encountered by the deputy(s) responding to the incident. These classifications are the incident classification code, disposition code, and hazard factor code.
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha">
<li>The Incident Classification Code is:
*A three (3) digit number assigned to various possible incident categories.
**Their numbers range from 100 – 999.
*Listed alphabetically within each subject heading.</li>
</li>
<li>The Disposition Code is:
*A single alphabetical letter.
**The letters E, F, G, H or K will always be used when an incident report is written.
</li>
<li>The Hazard Factor Code is:
*A single digit number from 0 - 9.
**Number 7 will only be used for anti-harassment reports.
**Number 9 will only be used for domestic violence reports.
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Department members shall clear with the Incident Code that best describes the incident after the investigation has been completed (e.g., a vehicle is damaged but it is obvious the suspect(s) were trying to enter the vehicle, the incident code would be Vehicle Prowl, not Vandalism.)
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha">
<li>The Incident Code shall be written on any report exactly as listed on the FCR Card (KCSO C-151).</li>
<li>The incident title chosen from the Incident Classification Code may not always agree with the offense definition found in the RCWs (e.g., the incident code is Vandalism but the RCW is malicious mischief or the incident code is Larceny but the RCW is theft).</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Department members shall clear with the Disposition Code that best describes the action taken by the Department member.</li>
<li>Department members shall use the most serious Hazard Code that applies to the incident.
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha">
<li>The codes indicating a deputy was assaulted (3 & 4) should only be used if a known suspect is to be arrested, or if an unknown suspect would be arrested if known.</li>
<li>These codes take priority over any other hazard code that may apply.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Only one (1) FCR shall be used to clear a single incident number.
*Secondary or assisting units shall use the same Incident Classification Code as the primary unit but will use the Disposition Code X.</li>
</ol>

==Suspect Codes==
Each person listed as a suspect will have an alpha code of either "A" (arrested) or "S" (suspect) listed in front of his/her name.
#Patrol deputies will use the "A" code when closing a case by citing, forwarding an adult case to the Prosecutor’s Office recommending misdemeanor charges or forwarding a case to Juvenile Court recommending misdemeanor charges.
#All felony suspects will be identified with an "S" by patrol deputies.
#Detectives forwarding cases to Adult or Juvenile Court for charges will use the code "A" for defendants.
#*Cases not cleared by arrest will have the code "S" for each suspect.
#Suspects with "A" codes will have a four (4) digit code in the "charge" box of the incident report or on the line after the name of the suspect on a follow-up report.
#*The first three digits of the code will be the FCR code that best describes the charge followed by a "F" for felony or "M" for misdemeanor, (e.g., a person arrested for driving a stolen car will be a 327-F, or a person arrested for shoplifting under $250 will be a 297-M.)
#Up to three (3) "charge codes" may be included for each suspect.

==Incident Classification Codes==
