Good grief.. D S is Driving Status its a common short cut that Leads operators know thats what the officer wants.

DS is a LEADS message key, but is specifically Driving record by Social. DL is Driving records by License number. DN is Driving record by Name.

Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but I have one I can't figure out.... Some departments in Lorain County, and I think some in Cuyahoga as well will say they are "Double A". I listen to what is being said after, but still can't catch what they mean. Usually it's just acknowledged and nothing more.

What is "Double A"?

I finally asked an officer and was told it was on break to eat. No one knew how "Double A" came to mean eating, but everyone knew what it was.

I hear Columbus Police marking for an oil change quite often...sometimes at intersections I know do not have an oil changing place or garage.

I was listening the other day, when the Sarge called out BOLO for a certain person, and some rookie officer asked whats a BOLO? They were giving him all kinds a grief. Great thread, with some interesting information.

Pronounced 'point nine-teen'.

Exactly:

ORC 4511.19 Operating vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs - OVI.

That's actually common terminology for OSP statewide, and for many police and sheriff departments in some areas as well. Probably safe to bet that nearly every department throws it around from time to time.

Many years ago I knew what it meant but the reason behind it threw me, and I was a police dispatcher; all became clear one day when I happened to be leafing through an ORC summary book in order to answer a civilian question.

Re the "Double A" above. Maybe there used to be a resturant named "Double A" or the abbreviated name was AA?
And the "oil change" above may be a euphism for a restroom break.
Just possibilities that I'm throwing out there.

Yeah, after posting that I started to think maybe that's what it means. I'll have to see if I can get in touch with an old colleague of mine who is CPD now and confirm.

Another one CPD uses is a number, for example, "Can I get a number at the sub?" I'm pretty certain number means lunch break.

Number = meal break. Also a "five six" (10-56).

Sub = substation.
