Funny/Odd things heard on the scanner

Is 10-96 the code that is used to check enroute in your area?

Reason I ask is that here in the Dallas side of the DFW metroplex 10-96 means the subject is mentally unstable LOL.

Yep, 10-96 is en route.

Dispatch: Keyholder will be enroute, ETA 30 minutes, driving a pewter SUV

(about 5 minutes later)

Unit: Control 1, what does pewter look like?

 

[LordJ]

Amb to Disp on way to call...- A - "Will be going Code 9" D - "Code 9, Please confirm" A- " Code 9, we just hit a Turkey" D - "Roger, will dispatch your call to other unit" A - " What's the protocol for this, Child CPR? " D- "Laughs" A- " Nevermind, subject didn't make it"

OK I literally just heard this one come across the scanner...."(xxxx address)...caller has 2 squirrels in her back yard chasing her kids around and acting strange....would like them removed."

Heard this one down in Galveston last week. Not word for word but pretty close.
(Unit # and address changed simply because I can't remember and it doesn't matter.)

*Dispatch: Medic 1 be in route to 49th and Ave. L for a man down.
-Medic 1: In route to 49th and L.
*Dispatch: Clear, in route to a report of a male laying face down in the ditch on the side of the road, no other patient information. PD and first responders are in route.
-Medic 1: Medic 1 is on scene.
*Dispatch: Clear.
(About 30 seconds later....)
-Medic 1: You can disregard PD and first responders, this was a sleeper. He's up, walking around and eating a taco!

(A sleeper refers to a one of the numerous homeless on the island taking a rest in a random location.)

Geez, that would only be funny around here if it didn't happen 37 times a week. Seriously, if I'm exaggerating, it's not by much. Our ambulance crews have received special consideration from the health authority to allow them to transport "patients" to non-hospital locations (i.e. detox, help centers, etc).

What do you do when you have a priority call, but don't have enough time to turn to the Centracom console and hit the alert tones?

The "man down" turning out to be a sleeper routine is a multiple times per day occurance here also. The part I found funny was the "eating a taco."

heard this on sunday, brush fire at smokers express.

 

[JHaislet]

"Unit xxx, can you head over to xxx's location and assist. The RP's daughter just ATE a liquid air freshener! 10-4, en route."

While not funny, it's one of the stranger calls I've heard recently.

 

[TXFirefighter112]

Carrollton PD in pursuit of burglary suspect, lost sight of him and gave a description:

"XX be advised the suspect is about 5 foot 6....5 foot 7.....5 foot 8"


If he's growing that fast he'll be 21 feet tall by the time they catch him.

I so wanted to hear someone come on the radio and say something like, "Shoot him before he gets any bigger!"

 

[Stick0413]

Just heard this one. Running a bunch of SSNs. First one came back to person A. There were two others they ran and then the unit gets back on and says "Can you tell me the name of the first one I ran again. I can't read my own writing." lol

 

[SCPD]

Heard this while sitting in roll call before a ride along with Omaha PD.
Dispatcher "the caller states they saw two males chacing five heavy set females."

 

[nfd_rescue]

Heard an officer get dispatched to assist a woman who found a snake in her house. On his way there, another officer told him "I'd back you up if it was a guy with a gun or something, but I don't do snakes..."

That is pretty funny.. I got a good laugh out of that..

Right now, I'm listening to Berea, KY Fire Department. They just got rolled to I-75, Northbound side for a tractor trailer with it's brakes on fire.. Dispatch told the unit(s) responding the driver tried cooling them with a fire extinguisher, so I guess they're gonna hose the brakes when they arrive...

There was a call the other day about a middle age fellow who flew out from Arizona to meet his online girlfriend. He found out she was 15. Opps... (At least he called the police to alert them.)

This was to funny.......

Last night around 12:00 am here in Brooklyn NY the central dispatcher was trying to clear an open mic well what was being heard was a hot sexy conversation.

As follows I wiil keep it as clean as possible.

Female voice : What time does your shift end?

Male : 8 am

Male; forget that nobody can see us here.

Dispatch breaks in

Female: unaudible

Male: oooo yeaaa explicit word

Female: is it good

Male: keep going

Female: hey is that suppose to be like that

Male: HOLY S_HIT

Then all hell breaks lose with the other cars asking what happened

lol not to go off topic.. but back when they had the DNC in NYC wow did they have an issue with Open Mics... is that something that is normal? poor dispatch was having to say something like 5-7 times for them to check the portables.

 

[BazookaJoe]

Question... can the unit who has the open mic even hear dispatch?
