LOL I can’t resist (got this email today) they are SO true!!! LOL I’m tired, it was a long night at work, so forgive! New Codes: 12-1 : Ask the complainant, our crystal ball has been repossessed. 12-2 : The Sergeant is in the sandbox. When he returns I’ll ask him. :laugh: 12-3 : Because the Chief said so, that’s why. 12-4 : I hear you, I’m just ignoring you. :rolleyes: 12-5 : You’re beautiful when you are angry. 12-6 : Your mother dispatches ambulance chasing attorneys. 12-7 : You’re still on probation aren’t you? 12-8 : This call should keep lover boy busy for a while. 12-9 : Say again…this time without the marbles in your mouth. 12-10 : Hey dummy, how did you ever got on the department payroll? 12-11 : Is there a Swahili-speaking officer on duty? :eek: 12-12 : I’m 10-08, but don’t give me any calls. I am 10-42 in an hour. 12-13 : I didn’t ask your “20”, I gave you a call. 12-14 : Sorry, I left my Ouija board at home today. 12-15 : How much longer on my STEP time? 12-16 : Is that your mic clicking or do you have a loose upper plate? :explode: 12-17 : Slow down, I can’t type that fast! 12-18 : Let’s go home and start over tomorrow, OK? 12-19 : Sorry 'bout that! 12-20 : Would you believe…? 12-21 : Good grief! Do you get paid by the word while giving dispositions? :chatter: 12-22 : I’ll be 10-08 in 15 minutes…actually I’ll be 10-06 “government business.” 12-23 : 10-19 the PD…we’re setting up a poker game for tonight. 12-24 : I REFUSE TO CRACK! Go ahead with your 10-29’s but there’d better be at least one stolen one in the bunch! :spindizzy: 12-25 : This call has been holding a LONG time; give the complainant the “multiple emergencies” routine. 12-26 : WHAT DO YOU MEAN 10-08, 10-08 FROM WHAT, WHERE? :eek: 12-27 : Write that report later, I’ve got a stack of calls holding that you would not believe! 12-28 : Same to you! 12-29 : I’ll respond as soon as I finish running the rest of the cars in the parking lot. 12-30 : Nothing personal, I’ve got nobody else to send. 12-31 : OK, so I goofed…sue me 12-32 : WHOSE common spelling? :eek: 12-33c : Coffee break 12-33p : Potty break 12-33z : Wake me when the shift is over. ---

When I did security, we used 10 codes. If a female acquaintance / girlfriend dropped by, she was called 9-17. (For one of the guard’s gf’s b-day) ---
