Police Officer Preparation & Law Enforcement Resource - Archive

I was browsing the Explorer section and came across THIS (http://forums.realpolice.net/showthread.php?t=26038&highlight=radio+funny) thread. Instead of bumping a 4 year old thread I would just start a new one. Plus, I'm sure everyone has a new story to share.

Anyone can post their story. Explorers, Police Officers, etc...

We had some of our old portable radios issued out to the lifeguards for the local county park. They were usually teenage kids.

The portables were crappy, they were only supposed to use them for medical emergencies but they still had the Sheriffs main channel programmed.

Well one of the dumb a$$es took his radio home with him. On the way home he ran into some friends and decided to talk with them at the park. He was bragging about the radio which he forgot he had on, and threw it up into the dash.

The conversation got a bit serious and he started telling his best friend about some stolen property he was trying to fence to pay for his girlfriends abortion. Lucky for her, he didn't mention her by name but it was a small county where everyone knows everyone.

During the conversation the Sheriffs Admin was going crazy trying to figure out who it was. Finally one of the city Officers heard some basketball in the background and ran up to find them at the local park. I have no idea what ever happened to them. I know they were in with the Detective for several hours and the lifeguards no longer had our old portable radios.

Officer looking for subject on foot:
-"I'll ATL for a while."
A short while later:
-"I guess I looked too hard. Found him at..."

He's pretty much retired on duty and the tone he used was priceless.:D

Dispatch:
-"Female being assaulted by her child's father at..." :rolleyes:

One morning, around 4:00 am, about fifty of us were sitting around, waiting to do a drug warrant round up, when a Patrol Officer got a hot mike as he walked into his house after his shift, and apparently took off his duty belt and put it on the table.

The next thing you know, his wife walks into the kitchen, and they start talking about doing the dirty dance, and then they start doing it, right there in the kitchen, being broadcast out to the whole county.

We were all laughing so hard we were crying, until his phone kept ringing and ringing, and he finally stopped and answered it, saying, "What? What? My radio? Oh, $#&!" :D

Had a call on my last ride along a few days ago.

Dispatch sent it on the computer. Something to the effect of two naked males on a main road in town.

En-route, dispatch said over the radio: M127, change to priority 1, RP called back and said subjects are "sword fighting", code 3 if necessary.

The fill unit that was a min behind us was laughing his a$$ off.

An interesting call for sure.:p

Not sure the whole story on this one.
The call came in from a fast food place and some guy was there exposing himself in his spiderman underware. by the time the cops got there he was long gone.
I thought it was kind of funny because you usually think of little kids being proud of their spiderman underware not grown men.

Open mics are a cops worst enemy.......especially if you get caught talking about how effed up a certain city council member is and how he needs to wire his head and *** together. :o

Thank goodness the councilman was not listening.

When I was much younger, (I forget how old exactly), I was in the car with my father and sister (also young at the time). My father is a LEO, and had a take home, unmarked squad. I was sitting with my sister in the back, all buckled in and such when my father stepped out to pump gas.

Now, we both knew better than to touch daddy's police walkie-talkie. But, as my father went into the station to pay for gas, my sister "double-dog-dared" me to pick up a microphone and say something. So I was completely convinced that the 'walkie-talkies' were off, and no harm could be done. So being the young child that I was, I picked up a random mic and said, "Hey fat lady! Turn around if you can see me!" (As a pleasantly plump female was walking by the car). Turns out, I had picked up the PA. And, unfortunately, the 'walkie-talkies' were not off. All sorts of heads turned, unsure of where this voice was coming from. Well I kept blabbing, (still oblivious to the fact that people could hear me), and my father came storming out of the gas station. He apologized to the female, who was obviously insulted, and got back in the car.

....I never touched those 'walkie-talkies' again. :o

(I apologize for the long post.)

Body wires that people think they have cut off are even worse! :D

From dispatch last week for a medical call:

"Possible code grey (aka: dead person) at such and such address....

Be advised, you may need to force entry, the patient may not be expecting you."

We heard a funny one tonight via 911 for another dept:

"EMS responding to address. Female there stating she feels like her head is about to explode and stated she has been smoking crack."

We had a guy with a hot mike telling his partner about the hot little bartender he had been "wooing" as of late. The bartender and his wife were not one in the same. However, his wife is an officer with the same dept who works the same shift as he did.:D

Last year I had a ride along with an officer that was awesome and funny. Too bad I don't remember his name or I would have asked for another ride. Here's what I journaled (Dec. 8, 2007):

Once we got in the car, he radioed into dispatch the basics: white male wearing an explorer uniform. He didn't know anything about Explorers so he didn't know I had a unit number that would have been easier to say. The dispatcher comes back in a rude voice: "You have to call it in with the details!".

I guess he didn't have a department issued phone , and he didn't want to use his own when he has a radio, and an MDC, right next to him. So he goes into the instant messaging part of the MDC program, and IMs that dispatcher: "white male, drumma dude, unit#_____, is a capricorn and likes math and science".


Night shift of course.

For the record, no other dispatcher has made an officer TX in my description, or use details at all. Just "Signal 48 Explorer (Unit Number)". That response sure cracked me up though.

dang wish we could ride with 34's...stupid insurrance company only lets us ride with PSA's..

I might have mentioned this one in here a while back, but a few years ago we got a call from a neighboring agency saying they were getting calls about a possible UFO and asked if our units could see it in the southeastern sky.

One of our sergeants comes across that he can see it, it is flashing colors and appears to be headed to our jurisdiction.

An officer happened to be standing in Dispatch, heard this, and called his father-in-law who was a professor at a local community college and astronomy fan.

The FAL walks outside, looks and tells the officer they are seeing the “Dog Star”…Sirius. He explained that during ideal atmospheric circumstances the star appears to be moving and setting off flashing colored lights.

The officer tells the dispatcher to tell the sergeant what he had learned. This is exactly what came over the radio;

Dispatch: “Contact has been made with an astronomy professor at CAC. He states that what you are seeing is Sirius.”

Sergeant: “Damn right it’s serious; it’s getting ready to land on CG Mountain.”

Roll Out Hilarious!

That sergeant, to this day, absolutely hates it when this story is told. :D

This is a funny thread....

Dispatch: Unit 308 Signal 24 (EDP) at address. Claims elves on the fromt lawn.

Unit 308: Elves? Like keebler or lord of the rings?

Dispatch: Elves that live ion a tree and make cookies.




Really wish I could of heard how that turned out.

dang wish we could ride with 34's...stupid insurrance company only lets us ride with PSA's..

Could you explain this lingo?

This was from a few years before I was hired. I think I might have posted this someplace before.

During the winter time we have to give road condtion updates. Well one of my old Sgts. before he was promoted was working during a blizzard one night. Given he was not happy dealing with all the idiots that just had to try to go someplace unimportant during the blizzard. Late in the shift, dispatch calls him and ask for the 10-13 (road conditions). The officer is a little irritated, because after all it's a blizzard outside, so what do the think the roads are going to be like. Anyway he answers them still and clear. Dispatch comes back and ask 10-9 (repeat traffic), since they obviously knew it was a blizzard. Well, this happens a couple of times until the officer finally comes back and answers.......

Wait for it.........


Still snowing clear up to my ***!




End of story, he got a day off for it. :D

Could you explain this lingo?

34 in Albuquerque 10 codes = Full time officer. PSA = Police Service Aide..

We (Lieutenant and I) can ride with 34's, you all aren’t ready. By the looks of that simple 10-code test it's going to be awhile :rolleyes: . Besides it’s better to ride with PSA's because that’s the next step up from Explorer. You can’t go from A to C, you got to go; A, to B, to C. ;)

Did it occur to you, Sergeant, that not all agencies run their Explorer programs the same way? And that they might have different criteria for who gets to ride when? When I was an Explorer, we rode with Officers only (although I did ride with a Sergeant once). PSA's were not an option for an Explorer. There was a restriction on when you could ride due to age and experience.

Since you claim riding with PSA's is better, does that mean you ride with a PSA instead of the police officer?

10 codes, as well as the 100 codes, vary by agency. For me a 10-34 is a smuggling check. Does the fact that I did not know it was an Albuquerque LEO mean I am not ready to respond to calls and need to go back to the academy?

Just a suggestion: Don't be so quick to prejudge based on what you consider to be gospel. Not all Bibles are alike.

Sierra,

Wow. My thread post was directed to BoyInBlue who is a kid on OJT in my squad.(attention to detail goes a long way) I am not saying PSA's are better, I am just saying that they are the next step up from police explorer and it would make more sense to ride with them. Your agencies 10 codes are your agencies 10 codes and if you know them great, kudos for you! Next time before you go accusing me, use your verified LEO skills and realize that I am probably talking to the kid in my squad!

Thanks

roflmao! that is CLASSIC!

Kiddo, would your attention to detail refer to an Explorer as 'OTJ' rather than 'OJT' as you put it? :confused: Are Explorers truly considered as serving the public rather than accumulating experience and gaining exposure to a possible career choice?

There is a Boy Scout down my street who we have hired to cut our lawn, shovel the driveway etc but we would not even entertain the thought of having him do major repair or even most detailed handy work.

CF - There is NOTHING in this quote that shows it was specifically directed at BoyInBlue. If you weren't so full of yourself or if you had even a little bit of people skills, you would have PM'ed BIB or told him in person rather than laying him out on a public forum. :rolleyes:


Sierra,

YOUR attention to detail could be better - like specifically addressing BIB. BTW, what is there that shows BIB is "OJT" whatever the fuc& THAT means... :rolleyes:

I am not saying PSA's are better, I am just saying that they are the next step up from police explorer and it would make more sense to ride with them.

Please explain how riding with an "aide" would make more "sense" than riding with a sworn officer. Oh, that's rhetorical and sarcastic, btw, you don't need to answer (and I'm not listening for a reply either).

Your agencies 10 codes are your agencies 10 codes and if you know them great, kudos for you! Next time before you go accusing me, use your verified LEO skills and realize that I am probably talking to the kid in my squad!

BoyInBlue - remember you can also learn what NOT to do or how NOT to be from substandard supervisors...


Hey Sierra, next time some power-tripping punk kid with a bad case of over-inflated self-worth starts mouthing off, try this:

I think that explorer rank has gone to your head...I highly doubt your post or your department condones that kind of attitude. Even on a forum that shows disrespect to an officer who is OTJ

Hmmm. Must be my subpar investigative skills, but it appears to me (as well as to several other posters including other LEOs) that BIB responded to a question asked by Drummadude. DAD asked what a 34 and a PSA was, BIB responded. Unless I missed something somewhere, and I do not believe I did, there was no need for you to call BIB out or dress him down in the manner you did. In fact, I do not see how your post contributed to the discussion at all.

And now I get the dubious pleasure of being dressed down by a pompous and overbearing teenager who didn't like receiving some of the same medicine he prescribed for someone on his squad. :rolleyes:

LOL, can we just go back to the funny radio calls???

We had a Chief in a neighboring small community that hated talking on the radio. He had a cleft pallet and was self-conscious. There wasn't much crime in his town, and one day someone broke into a local sportsmans store and stole 2 Duck skiffs. He called it in and told dispatch, "Advise all units to be on the lookout for a southbound car with 2 duck-skiffs." Dispatch came back on and said, "Do you have a description of the vehicle?" Almost yelling, he said, "Yeth! Iths the car with the 2 fucking tskiffs on the roof!"

Dispatch: Available unit to assist the ambulance?
Officer: (Unit number), I'll take it.
Dispatch. (Unit number), assist the ambulance at (location), male subject is bleeding from the rectum.
Officer: (sigh) ....10-4.
Random officer: ........eeeewwwwwww.

Lol...LEO's have great senses of humor......

I heard this a few days ago haha:D

Dispatcher: Attention any units in the area of I-25 and Montgomery. There’s going to be a 39 (Disturbance) at the McDonalds. The subject is a WMA (White Male) approximately 50-60 years of age long beard, no shirt, wearing skirt made of leaves and waving a wooden spear around.

Unit 1: PD check to see if somebody rolled a 5 or a 7
Dispatcher: Unit1 10-9? (Repeat)

Unit2: PD 21 (telephone) AFD see if there are any giant mosquito attacks
Dispatcher: Unit2 10-4

Sergeant: jumanji!

Dispatcher: (laughing) any units’ enroute?

Unit1: PD I’ll be 56 (arrived) at location

Dispatcher: Unit1 10-4

When arresting someone for dui officers will usually say:

"Enroute to the station with one for the test (bac)."

Well, one newer officer said:

"Enroute to the station with one to blow."

Dispatch - 5334

Dispatch - Respond to the area of Street and Street for the report of shots fired.
5334 - 10-4, Enroute
Dispatch - Just 43 (information), RP seems to be 96 (mental) and is stating she can't check outside for anyone shooting because she is bolted to her bed.
5334 - .....(dead air).....Uh... Copy.

Got a chuckle out of me.

Well we wouldn't want just any Frankenstein wandering the neighborhoods at night, would we?

Thats what you have a Zombie for... :rolleyes:

;)

This is after a pursuit that ended with a pit maneuver in a local city.

Dispatch to officer: 10-90 (officer welfare contact/how are you?)

Officer to dispatch: Everyone is ok, just minor cuts and bruises. But we'll need a wrecker for Officer Smith's unit...its uhhh....really hurt.

Ok not super funny but mind you 193 is doing off duty assignment and on the CAD it says 193's location is walmart ok

Dispatch:193
193:193
dispatch:what is your location
193: um that would be electronics


Now Jimmy (officer I was with) and I were laughing so hard but when we had to respond to the bs dv call that 193 was supposed to get we were not laughing so hard but it was funny while it lasted lol
