DispatcherDame's Diatribes

10-Code Language Line

I need an app that translates my 10/11 code and radio speak into plain English when I'm texting with friends and family. My brain doesn't switch well between the two when I'm 10-8, so it's led to tons of confusion amongst my non-LEO crew. I sent this to my non-LEO friend the other day:

"10-4. I'll 98 w/ you at your R after 10-10 and 1039 Jen too. ETA 60 OL"

All I got back from her was:

"...?"

So I then had to translate:

"Okay. I'll meet with you at your apartment after I get off work and I'll tell Jen to do the same too. I'll be there in an hour, maybe sooner."

Someone, please invent this!

    A twenty-something dispatcher taking 911 calls, yapping on the radio, and dealing with the general public - with a mad case of headset hair. Not quite so jaded yet, but not naive as I once was. Losing my soul one call at a time.

    This reflects my views and not the view of my employer, etc.  If you have a problem with this, I suggest using the back button.
