    Acronyms

    Hi ROS,

    While reading a related thread in this topic, the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team ("HRT") should be added to your ever growing list. I don't know if you might also want to add "legacy" US Customs' Warrant Entry Team ("WET"). They may have dropped that acronym even prior to USCS merging with INS.

    Hi grumpyirishman,

    What ROS is trying to do is compile and consolidate a list of "Common Federal Acronyms", particularly those related to Law Enforcement, into a central repository which can be easily referenced.

    Websites such as thefreedictionary.com are good, but when it comes to Federal acronyms or Law Enforcement acronyms these websites offer so many definitions to wade through you are essentially back to square one trying to decide which is the correct one.

    If we may use as examples, the two recent submissions I posted in this thread: HRT and WET.

    thefreedictionary.com provides twenty-two possible definitions for the acronym "HRT", and even in context, four of the definitions might be appropriate; they do not provide a defintion for "WET" at all.

    ROS's list separates the wheat from the chaff, and distills the search for the LEO. IMHO.
