Question?

[StinkyB]

In regards to the Silent/Still alarm question, I have one I can't figure out, I hear LMPD dispatchers talking about for example "you have one waiting on 3 speed" what does # speed mean, does this have somthing to do with the different divisions?




signed: confused

There is only minor confusion. It is on 3's beat...Dispatchers have to tell the on-duty Sgt that they are holding what kind of run on whomever's beat. This is only done on the Police channels.

The conversation would go something like this.

Radio to 338

338 go ahead

We are holding an investigation on 3's beat and a missing person on 1's beat. No units clear on those beats. (they don't use 10-codes anymore hence the plain language)

338 ok.

I hope this helps....
