LASD Radio Terms

[Cressida81]

I'm familiar with most of the call codes and 10 codes but i hear some things that i don't really understand like:
"status on your near miss"
"status on your address check"
"Code 1 Ida"
"Rea _____" - this one i'm guessing is "Re: your ______"

any other non standard things they say that i'm missing here (with their respective meanings if you know them).

thanks

"Status on near miss" usually refers to warrant, criminal history and ID checks where the subject information is close to the subject the officer is checking on. Birthday off by a day, same day different month, same date, different year, etc. It lets the officer know he may have a history on the subject, however the subject may have provided false information either in the past or currently.

"Address check" are usually asking to verify if a given address is correct.

"Code 1 Ida" Ihave no idea.

I'm not sure what your last item is referring to.

Hope this helps.

"Status on your address" is when the Deputy runs a subject or plate and a "hit" comes up, for that address, on the MDT. Since the Dispatcher doesn't know if the Deputy is at the address, she/he will ask for his status.
There is a Code 4-Ida. This is when a Deputy runs, for example, a plate for information only, and doesn't have the vehicle with him/her. The Dispatcher will ask for his/her status and the Deputy will respond with a Code 4-Ida.
Hope this helps,

Also, I have heard the dispatcher ask officers (er..., I mean, Deputies!) the following question:

"141Tom1, advise on the status of your return"...

which by the way has nothing to do with any records check, but is embedded code for, Are you OK? This was told to me by an LASO worker. It is essetially her asking for a safety check when an officer has been on a stop for a while and hasnt been heard from.

very helpful, thanks

Code 1

I Believe Is Call Your Desk ,or Station

 

[iepoker]

Oh, and the 'rea' thing you were asking about is indeed just sounding out Re:

You hit that one on your own.

LASO Code 1 Ida

At LASO, "Code 1" means "acknowledge receipt of message" or basically, "did you copy?"

"Code 1 Ida" is some sort of variation of that code, with Ida being the phonetic for the letter "I," which may have something to do with its meaning. However, I am not sure of its actual meaning.

 

[Cressida81]

maybe code 1 Ida, is to acknowledge recipt of information or "recieved information". they use a handful of varients that are not on the code sheets, mostly they are codes that are on the sheet, like 927, and then add something to the end like N, so maybe it would be 927N meaning suspicious noise.

It does have to do with records checks, the LASD worker is wrong. When a Deputy runs a subject or plate and it comes back with a hit, that information also comes up on the dispatcher's console. The dispatcher is asking to see if the Deputy is okay. It is not a secret code.

Same kind of thing happens when LAPD officers run a suspect or plate on their MDT. If it returns with a felony want or "armed & dangerous" it will alert the RTO (dispatcher), who then broadcasts, "13A41, 'Code-6-Charles' indicated, verify your location." The RTO is required to obtain the unit's location, even in cases where the officer's reply is "Code 4, wrong suspect, common name," "Suspect in custody," etc.

 

[Cressida81]

another term i've just started to hear is

"46King code-6 trigger activated, would you like me to show you code6?"

"beep beep beep beep" - tone indicating officer transmitting

"10-4 accidental only"

So, is there a switch they can hit that shows them code6 (out of car investigation)?

 

[Starman918]

There is a Code 6 button on the MDT. When activated it will alert the Dispatcher. The Deputy will typically use this button if he has to exit the unit in a hurry without time to create a call in the unit MDT. The Dispatcher will "create" a call for the Deputy and put it on the unit MDT. In this instance the Dispatcher was asking if she could create a call for the Deputy.

E-Trigger is the emergency button on the mobile and the handheld radios.

There are many codes that have different sections to them, for instance! you have 417/ 417A/ 417B/ 417BH/ but then you here stuff like 417S which is Shots fired. So about the CODE 1 IDA subject, it does pertain to receiving INFORMATION, and for CODE 4 IDA, its: no further assistance needed, INFORMATION ONLY.

Its not (Rea) Its:


Re: Reguarding

So it would be like this: Lancaster 112 advising CODE 4 RE(reguarding) the 273.5(felony spousal assult) @ 3rd east & the Bvld. D/P GPA UTL. CODE 4

10-19: Return to your station
10-21: telephone your station

The code 6 button on your MDT is basically to make things easier. Same with your 10-15 button or your 10-97 button. It all depends on how you like to work.

You can push buttons or you can say. " SCC, Can you show me CODE 6 RE(reguarding): 909T(traffic stop) off of 20 west and J-John -8.

For going 10-15: SCC, Lancaster 112 advising, 10-15(prisoner in custody) w/ 1 RE Narco w/ intent to distribute for sales.

For 10-97: ok so lets say your En Route to a call, each call has a TAG, so lets say its (TAG: 187) You can say, SCC, show me 10-97 RE TAG 187. Or since there is a 10-97 button on your MDT, you can just push that! make sure your get your red light though, because having to go back in to you loggs to change clearences and stuff like that sucks! lol

Remember, When transporting females, advise SCC, of your radio car's miles accumulated and what your destination is before you start to transport her to what ever location, always adives if your 10-15 or what ever else is needed, and remeber, its good to know codes, but if you get into some ***** just speak plain english, get units rolling so that what ever is going down, you can get more guns to the fight if needed!

Be safe to all of you and GodBless!

oh yeah, and about the E-TRIG... you have one on your radio, thats why every shift, before you go 10-8 you logg what your radio number is and when you do your logg in, you logg your radio number in your log-in so that if your e-trigger is activated, whether accidental or a real situation, they no what deputy/officer is in trouble!

there is also a E-trigger on your MDT located to the right of your 10-15 button!

Emergency Trigger

So, is there a switch they can hit that shows them code6 (out of car investigation)?

E-Trigger is the emergency button on the mobile and the handheld radios.

LAPD has emergency triggers, too. LAPD calls it "Emergency Trigger." You would hear, ". . . emergency trigger has been activated."


On Motorola radios, when the emergency trigger is activated, the radio can be programmed to automatically switch to a predesignated channel and sends the radio data to the dispatcher.


This is a picture of the Motorola XTS3000 II, similar to some hand held radios used by LASD. The orange/red button is the emergency trigger.

 

[Starman918]

For going 10-15: SCC, Lancaster 112 advising, 10-15(prisoner in custody) w/ 1 RE Narco w/ intent to distribute for sales.

Typically sheriff's units will just advise that they are going 10-15 without advising the reason over the air.

ROVER Activations

On the LAPD ASTRO radios, there is an "emergency button" which automatically changes the radio to Channel #50 (Emergency Trigger). At the same time, the BCCs and RTO receive an audible and visual alert at their dispatch console. The RTO (if the unit is "logged on") broadcasts, "All units, 9A49s ROVER has been activated, 9A49, 9A49 come in," If the unit is not "logged on" (to the MDT system), the BCC (South Bureau) handles and broadcasts, "All units, unassigned ROVER 17401 has been activated, ROVER 17401, ROVER 17401 come in." The RTO/BCC then handles whatever the situation based upon the officer's response (usually, "All units, Code 4 on the ROVER activation, accidentaly only."

 

[wiley]
