The ones posted on the wall now are pretty good....

..."caller says someone's penis got popped off" out of a 911 hang up. =)

... "piles sounds good... piles and piles of cookies!" That turned out to be an mdt message that was accidentally added to the call. lol.

... from a traffic complaint... "driver is legally blonde..." hahahha Callscreen meant to say blind.

And many times, I've left the "r" out of "shirt" when typing in a suspect description.

How about you guys?

When I was a young rookie back in the late 50s, I was in a cruiser with a old crusty veteran. It was an early Sunday afternoon, people still on streets going home from Church. We got a call about a cat in a tree. When we arrived there already was a small crowd including children. My partner borrowed an extension ladder and a rope and sent me up into the tree. the higher I went the higher the cat went until he was finally near the top which was probably 40 feet. My partner told me to get the rope near the top and start shaking it. He said that cat's have nine lives and that he would jump and be OK. I did so and he did so. When he hit the street he took about five steps and fell over dead. We placed the carcass in the trunk and left the scene. My partner took the mike and called the station. Car 5, this cat committed suicide. From then on, I took note and I never ever saw a cat skeleton in a tree.

I sometimes let my fingers get away from me, and instead of typing "out at county jail".......it comes out "out at ocunty jail".

One morning, years back I had the Chief come see me in dispatch... he patted me on the back and told me normally my call notes on CAD entries are very informative, but this was a little extreme... so could we please make a correction on this one....... he hands me a hard copy and I read my entry: "R/P said she has obs on a suspicious subj desc as m/w seen peeing into vehicles in the area of.....yada, yada". Whooops, left out the "r" there. Oh well.... it was good for a laugh.

We had a dispatcher type into a call screen regarding a death investigation that there was "fowl play" suspected.  We started to flap our arms whenever a detective came in asking about the call.

WE HAD A DISPATCHER CAD A CALL REGARDING A SUSPICIOUS PERSON WALKING DOWN THE ROADWAY, IT WAS DURING THE WINTER TIME AND THE CALL TAKE, ADDED "BABY, ITS COLD OUTSIDE" AND SHE READ IT OUT ON AIR LIKE THAT

MORAL TO STORY--READ CAD BEFORE YOU GIVE OUT CALL

I was dispatched to a scene and when I read it on the computer it said. "Jon Jr. beat off his father Jon Sr. at the fishing pier at the end of ....."

Note: the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Another one - Drunk hot pants skipping down the north side of the street.

This is an NCIC Admin Message thing:  My agency is actually called "North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety".  One of our dispatchers, in a rush, put "North Palm Beach Department of Pubic Safety".  I couldn't stop laughing after that....and that's also why I abbreviate it to North Palm Beach DPS

One of my co-workers pulled up on a suspicious vehicle in a closed park one night... he cancelled the call on CAD w/ "coitus interruptus."

I once got my wrist slapped for referring to the S&B Stop 'n Shop as the S&B Stop 'n ROB....

When a deputy checks on for special assignment I (and others) have always logged it as Spec Ass....

But with this new system it displays the remarks on the screen.....on the MDT"S (weve never had CAD interfaced on the MDT's untill 2 weeks ago). A few don't like that, but it hasn't become an official "issue" yet..

On a call from a lady who said someone was standing in front of her front door peep-hole covering it up...

"A june bug was observed to have landed on the residents peep-hole. No communication was made due to language barrier. Eventually the june bug was disregarded from the scene, no CTW issued at this time."

One of my favorites was from a Loose Livestock call.  The Deputy put in the call notes: " unable to make contact with emancipated bovine.."

All of these had me.... LOL.  There are many that have happened in our center too, I just can not zero in on one in particular right now. Thanks for sharing your stories!

Some of my fav's I have read;

1. printed for the info of all shits.




2. printed for the info of the dirty inspector.




3. the damage to the property is to the roller shitters.




4. stray bollocks seen wondering in the main road. - next line on the incident, correction should read bullocks.




5. suspect vehicle is described as a maureen coloured car.  - next line read, sorry should read Maroon.




6. the misper is apparently wearing a wooden coat.
