What does HPD mean

[afeldman]

Police often say the the person is or is not HPD. I have a idea what it means but not sure.

 

[scannerfreak]

Sure it's not HTV? Habitual Traffic Violator..Might also help to post where you are at..

You may be hearing them say "HBD" referring to whether they have been drinking alcoholic beverages.

 

[SAR923]

Mick is correct. "HBD" is an almost universal shorthand for "Has Been Drinking". You may also hear a subject is "ETOH", which is the chemical name for ethanol, or booze, as it's commonly called.

Wow, I must live in a different universe :lol: 14 years in law enforcement and I've never heard "HBD". We just say "intox"

 

[SAR923]

Let me correct that statement then - it's almost universal outside of New Jersey. Seriously, having been in law enforcement in California, it was common there and in all areas west of the Rockies. Come to think of it, I really haven't heard it used down here in Alabama either so maybe it's a western thing.

 

[manross]

We just use DK for drunk. Ambulances use ETOH. I also never heard HBD after 25 years as a LEO. All these acronyms crack me up.... LTR By the way does everyone know what the acronym B.O.H.I.C.A means? Anyone in Law Enforcement ought to know :lol: :lol:

When I 1st got my scanner I kept hearing the fire dept. saying SOB thats for shotness of breath

 

[BaLa]

10-56 or 56 here

otherwise they might just say intoxicated.

That's really to general of a question though.
There are too many different 10 Codes and other codes.
You prolly should have either posted in the specific state forum, or at least gave your location.

Around Here In Hartford Ct, HBD Means "Human Beaten Down"

Hpd Cop Beat The $h5* Out Of The Mayor's Nephew The Other Day In The HPD Lock Up After The Punk Nephew Beat The $h5* Outta The Cop's Brother When He Was Towing The Punk's Car.

Tow Truck Driver Might Lose sight In One eye.

Sad To Say, The Cop Get Busted & The Punk Nephew Will Probably Walk away.

Moral to The Story?

Hartford PD Is Known To Rough You Up, Stay Outta That Dump Unless You are Looking For Trouble.

Here's another one for ya.

FUBAR - F----'ed UP BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION

 

[Spec]

HBD and ETOH are both terms we used out west for persons under the influence of alcohlic beverage. It is not used very much here in the east.

Have never heard this in Indiana, Ohio, or Kentucky. Sounds specific to one area.

 

[SKEYGEN]

Around here they use IP, "intoxicated person", on drugs, alcohol or whatever else.

 

[TOUGHLIFE]

Some agencies like Oakland CA PD have used HPD to mean "high on pills & drugs".

Same here. Have never heard HBD (on any of the others) used in Virginia.

Hbd

Some agencies use HBD to mean "had been drinking". Often this will be used in reference to an accident report and a driver's use of alcohol but where the person was not legally intoxicated, although the ability of the driver may have been impaired.

In Virginia you can get a DUI/DWI even if you blow under the .08 limit. If the LEO feels your ability to drive was impaired you can still get one.
