Police-talk! We’ve all wanted to know what cops are saying into their radios, so you’re finally about to find out! That, and all those mysterious сodes you hear over the intercom in stores and airplanes. Did you know, that police use codes to cover almost every situation (even the most bizarre!), and they vary from one jurisdiction to the next?

Hospital codes are a little easier to follow since they aren’t numbered (and there aren’t a bazillion of them). They are usually based on a system of colors. As for airplanes, there are also a lot of codes pilots and flight attendants use to communicate quickly and discreetly to avoid causing a panic.
