"Poor Boy"

I heard the SFPD using this term the other day in reference to some kind of law enforcement officers or vehicle type. What does it mean?

I bet odds are on definition #3
but beware of the language.

"Poor boy" sounds like "Four Boy" which is sfpd radio slang for a traffic motor unit.

Ok, that sounds like a real answer. Also explains the degree of concern I was hearing. An SUV (Escalade I think) had gone out of control for blocks down Market Street and hit a "Four Boy", among many other things and left a wake of debris and destruction.

Crash on S.F.'s Market Street injures 5, including police officer (sfchronicle.com)
