![]() I found this Dear Chief letter online, and it’s too good not to share: It’s usually a self-serving explanation for a momentary lapse in judgment. Every cop, at some point in their service, F’s up and has to write an account of their F-up. You’re probably wondering what a Dear Chief is. Sure, the odd time a dinosaur rides-along and some geardo volunteers to Drive Miss Daisy but, for the most part, house mouses stay in their Ivory Tower or Puzzle Palace and respond to Dear Chiefs.ĭisconnect? It’s no wonder a PFL (Patrolman For Life) would pull an Upper Decker (sneak into the Chief’s executive washroom and drop a deuce in the toilet tank). ![]() They’re comma commies who push paper, not pursue pukes. The white shirts (commissioned officers like the Chief Cumquat and his Brasshole commanders) are office bitches. Internally, within the police structure, it starts with a disconnect between labor and management. (Not that the hose draggers don’t have terms for the pigs). Right? Wrong.Ĭops feud amongst themselves and with other ERs (Emergency Responders)-particularly the hydrant humpersor basement savers (firefighters). The biggest misconception the GP has of LE and other FR (First Responders) is they all get along. So here’s Version 2.0 on How To Speak Cop. It went over well (if you can believe the comments), and there seemed to be an appetite for a deeper drill into how LE (Law Enforcement) officers communicate. It was basic with stuff like 10-Codes, the phonetic alphabet and typical rank structures within police departments. Several weeks ago, I wrote a Kill Zone post titled How To Speak Cop - Version 1.0. However, there’s a lot more to cop-speak than this snippet. See? That makes perfect sense once it’s explained. See a scrote (criminal element) in PSP (Possession of Stolen Property) jackrabbit (make a run for it), wall-it (no place to go), turn a shiv (knife), take the electric slide (get Tasered) and a blast of Jesus Juice (OC pepper spray), then hagged-up (chewed by a police dog) and scrogged-out (physically controlled) before jewelried (handcuffed), bunwagoned (put in the prisoner van), shipped through the Sally Port (secure vehicle bay between the outside and the cell block), nutted & butted (strip searched), then inked and blinked (fingerprinted and photographed) before bowing to the turn key (received by the jail guard) and clinked in the cooler (locked in a cell). Let’s dissect the opening paragraph so it’s understandable to the GP (General Public).Ĭode 3 (responding with emergency equipment activated) to a 10-72 (serious crime in progress). It’s just the way cop-talk has evolved over time. It’s not necessarily a secret language, though. To someone who doesn’t speak cop, this jargon, lingo, acronym and code sounds foreign. Huh? Say what? This time in plain-speak, please. See a scrote in PSP jackrabbit, wall-it, turn a shiv, take the electric slide and a blast of Jesus Juice, then hagged-up and scrogged-out before jewelried, bunwagoned, shipped through the Sally Port, nutted & butted, then inked and blinked before bowing to the turn key and clinked in the cooler.
