Odd things you hear on the New York City Police Department radio, in no certain order:
"10-10" calls for help, 2 or 3 of these backed up and holding with no one to respond. (sad)
Then, when they dispatch these "calls for help" the dispatchers never ever seem to have any information on the call "no further" they tell the officer. What's up with that? Have you ever called the NYPD, usually a woman born in a third world country picks up and interrogates you - yet, when the call is dispatched - "no further information" from the dispatcher to the cop on the street.
How about when "central" (dispatch) sends out a call of a commercial burglary alarm which is going off again (it had gone off earlier), an officer immediatly comes on the air and says "mark it 90-Y" which means the call is unnessary, and then no car follows up at the location. One would think that is way out of line by the officer, as this time the alarm could be an actual burg in progress... ?
hmmm
