Cop speak

December 13, 2006 at 5:33 am (Uncategorized)

Cops spout off here, but not in police jargon. How to get that cop gossip on the record. How to beat the competition to the crime scene. How to avoid getting pepper sprayed and tasered in the groin.

    You? Innocent? Full of bologna, maybe. I like this new atmosphere. Feels kind of grown up. We’ve come a long way baby! Ha! :)

    Hey, have any of youse guys ever heard the police referred to as Po-Po? Such as in: “The Po-Po are after me.” I overheard a kid saying that to his friends as they ran down a sidestreet in San Jose.
    Hmmmmmmmmmmm …
    I know nothing of “cop speak” and don’t even know what you’re talking about.
    I’ll check back in from time to time and try to figure you young’ns out. (Have never been able to figure my own out, so don’t know why I think I’d be successful this time around.)
    Happy New Year,
    Betty

    I’ve heard the po-po reference. Also, the still popular “five-O,” an obvious reference to the Hawaii police show. You still hear “pigs” now and then, but “fuzz” has pretty much gone out of style.
