The Detectives Podcast

The Language of Law Enforcement


Listen Later

In this episode, Dave and Steve pull back the curtain on the language of law enforcement—10-codes, signals, and the everyday jargon used on job. They kick things off with a mock example of an officer and dispatcher speaking entirely in code before breaking down what those codes actually mean, where they came from, and why they sound like a foreign language to anyone outside policing. They share how different agencies use different codes, and why so many departments are now shifting toward plain English on the radio. Also, they dive into detective jargon and the everyday terminology detectives use. Finally, they discuss how this shared language becomes a form of bonding within the profession.
