Slightly sad, but glad it wasn't real. Dispatch tones out for a code blue, full response, no additional details.

First unit gets there, cancels everyone "child called 911 for death of a family pet).

I guess Dispatch got "dead" out of the kid, which is a code response here until verified otherwise.

Have to say one of the most entertaining things I ever heard was on CC wireless mics (I believe 72. something) an undercover prostitution sting at the Pilot truckstop in north Birmingham Alabama. Other truckers will attest to the fact that this is, hands down, one of the sleaziest truckstops in the south. What these guys were saying to that female officer were unmentionable to say the least. I sat thru 6 arrests before I turned in, but I laughed so hard at a couple of them that I was literally in tears.

Last night about half of Chambersburg PD was looking for a guy wearing only boxer shorts, who escaped from Chambersburg Hospital after being involuntarily admitted for unspecified mental health issues.

This post reminded me of 2 calls during last weeks heat wave in Hartford CT

2 separate calls of 2 males Obviously DOH/EDP walking down the middle of the street totally nude

Easy weapons search 4 the pd I suppose

They were "carrying" a attached BB gun, pellet gun or a 22 on their person LOL

Off to work

I think they meant Monitor Lizard. Probably a typo by the call taker....

There was a call in my town a year or so ago about a male running in and out of traffic "Clucking Like a Chicken " causing a traffic hazard .

The officer responded , " Copy , Clucking Like a Chicken "

We need recordings of such calls !

A few nights ago, Dardanelle (Arkansas) PD was called to a restaurant parking lot to investigate someone shouting for help. When PD arrived the responding officer heard him, but could not find him.The victim was down - literally - in a man hole. Somehow this guy had fallen into an open manhole and had been stuck there for several hours. The officer called for fire /rescue, and the fire department pulled the victim out. He was dehydrated but otherwise ok.

Anything can be a holster if you're brave or high enough.

Bit of background, when an officer runs a stolen vehicle on their KDT dispatch gets a notification on their computer.

Dispatch-- PD to unit, direct on your hit?
Unit -- 10-4, it's leaving eastbound Central from the 7-11
Dispatch-- 10-4, is it occupied?

This morning I heard a supervisor in the Gresham area of Chicago tell an officer "Make all of them happy then, bring them all to jail!"

The on scene officer replied, "Copy that! All of 'em going to jail." :lol:

Heard someone say over the public works channel
Driver 1 says I need a new truck
Driver 2 why is that?
Driver 1 someone farted and left a stain on the seat.
Driver 2 Says you got to stop eating Domino's Pizza. Starts laughing.
No one said nothing more after that one.
