Have you ever dutifully ordered the dispatch tapes on a case and then realized you have no idea how to read any of it because it's all in code? Well, here are the [[Blog:Main/boec_Translator|Police and EMS acronyms used by BOEC]]. At least for Multnomah County's Bureau of Emergency Communications, which includes PPB.

On a related note, you can [http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?action=cwp&ctid=2230 listen live to Portland Police dispatch]. It's simultaneously voyeuristic and boring. An odd experience. I just listened for 5 minutes and heard about:

* a bicycle stolen by a guy in a Ninja Turtles t-shirt and beanie.
* a car accident in which an elderly dude fumbling with his phone ran into "the bumper".
* somebody at Lloyd Center that may or may not be a gang member threatening to shoot people.
* some kids sitting on a porch smoking pot.

It's like hearing snippets of a dozen stories at once.
