Pierce County

[rick0s]

Newbe here....

after getting my scanner going and enjoying it, i cant figure out what Pierce County ( east ) lingo "NBC" means... I hear them say " in service,nbc "... anyone?

Thanks

Probably MDC, or Mobile Data Computer.

Some also call it MDT. T being Terminal.

Potato, tomato.. bla bla bla...

 

[rick0s]

this is some lingo that the pierce county sheriffs say.

ie.. "County clear, nbc" "In service,nbc" "In area, nbc"

I understand what it all means except the "NBC" part.

Like the others have told you, its MDC (moble data computer) meaning that they have a computer in their patrol vehicle.

I understand what the others are trying to say, But what me and the rest of my family hear on the scanner
is NBC, not M D C.

...ahem, nevermind

 

[rick0s]

Either im to dam stupid to understand what you all are trying to say or nobody understands the question.
I'm choosing the ladder one..


over and out,NBC

Get a recording of it and post it here. Then we call can hear it.

ok... i recorded some of it and edited into one mp3 file.... there is three different clips all from the
dispatch saying nbc at the end...... i did hear the sheriff say it also but not as clear as dispatch so i didnt include it.


had to cut in half to make the file requirements.

I'm hearing MDC, But one time it did sound like NDC. They say it so fast that you have to listen real hard. Just heard Puyallup PD say MDC.

I guess i need to take the family to get the hearing check,

Okay. Your not crazy

I put on my fancy headphones and listened to both recordings slowing them down. First off I can tell they are not saying MDC, or MDT. Whenever a dispatcher or public service person says MDT or MDC they are talking about either a message being sent or not received to there laptop or terminal. Which is not the case here.

What they are saying is NVC. I have no clue what it sands for.

Attached are the two recordings slowed down a bit.

Non-Volatile Counter? National Visa Center? National Vegetation Classification? New Vogue Children? National Vocabulary Championship? Northwest Vista College? Network Value Chain? Nuance Voice Control? Nonviolent Communication? Nonverbal communication? Nora Victor Charlie?

Dang. You came up with those quick....

I had some help.

Im glad someone thinks im not crazy or needs my ears checked. i can believe they are saying NVC, either way i dont know what it means..... and it is not just the dispatcher that says it. the sheriff will say it when he/she is, in service,out service, arriving at call,

I can record more clips if need be, but the file size restriction here are killing me.

 

[rodentkj]

Just lower the bitrate you are recording at. Change from Stereo to Mono.

3.2.3 On-Viewing Incidents:

Officers utilizing the "on-view" function of the MDT/MDC shall do so only after becoming familiar with the Type Codes and their priorities, taking care when choosing a type code so as to accurately reflect the incident. Officers utilizing the “on-view” function of the MDT/MDC shall verbalize the incident to the dispatcher and identify their intent to initiate the CAD incident themselves by immediately following the advisement with the term “MDC” (i.e. “2T3, Traffic MDC”). The dispatcher shall announce the type of incident, location and acknowledge with the current time (ie. “2T3 on Traffic at 180th/Andover Park West, 1543”). The fact that an incident was on-viewed through mobile data does not change the dispatcher’s responsibility to check officer status and respond accordingly.

KC9GLG that clearly makes scene..... this whole debate on whether its MDC NBC or NVC.

for me i can CLEARLY hear 'MDC' and dispatcher referring to the MD computer for more info.
that solves that part of the confusion that my dumb ass didnt get at first.

Now, i can also CLEARLY hear 'NBC' and no reference of what it means.

The dispatcher guy that works nights for East Pierce County Sheriffs has a very CLEAR and slower voice
to hear the two differences between MDC and NBC .

I haven't really heard NVC

here is another audio clip with NBC heard and then the last dispatch lady can be heard clearly say MDC
