Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 I use standby and 10-4 all the time at my house. It has become a accepted dialoge in my house. I remember playing a video game and my daughter asked me something I was like " STANDBY " oooooppppppppsssssss lol. Now we use it all the time.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 Before I became a dispatcher, but after I joined the military, I was workign for an answering service. I was training, and a woman called and asked me a question. Without thinking, I said " Standby " My trainer advised me that the general population might be confused when I said this and maybe I should try to say " Hold please " I never did get out of the habit of using standby and other military phrases. ===== Kim I make a difference Tulsa, OK __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2002 Report Share Posted August 7, 2002 <snip>I've said " 10-4 " to my children. <snip> one of our signals is sig 8 meaning disregard and I say it all the time to my daughter when I send her on something and then realize I don't need her to go.... <snip>lady at the drive through at Taco Bell when she repeated my order back to me! <snip> also said 10-4 to drive through and used the Adam , etc when spelling out things to telemarketers, placing catalog orders over the phone and stuff.... My youngest daughter is 16 months old and I was the first ever 911 dispatcher to take maternity leave in my county...so she is the dispatch baby, took her first steps down there at an emergency called meeting and I always teased that her first words would be 10 codes....*laugh* Visit my new Web page for My family history: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kentuckykousins/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 Up until about a year ago, 10-4 was actually our DISTRESS signal. The thinking was that Hollywood had publicised the meaning of 10-4 to the point that the officer could say he was 10-4 without the suspect catching on that the entire world was now headed their way. Then we switched radio codes to make them more like the ones used by the departments near us so there won't be as much confusion if/when we end up on the same radio nets (infrequent, but does happen). --- wrote: > The VERY FIRST thing my trainer told me was... > > " Indiana State Police Dispatchers NEVER say " 10-4.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 When I first started in dispatching back a couple years ago in the late 70's.. we were on the 10 codes. and that is what was used.. and it got very boring. I like the Idea of clear or giving the time at the end of each transmission.. and that is what i prefer anyone use.. as most supervisors will tell you... when you go to pull that tape of an incident, and you hear the dispatcher giving you a very good time trail by ending their transmissions or acknowledging a transmission with the time this helps greatly.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 >On our tapes the time is electronically put on the tape All recording devices I've ever seen automatically record the time.. While giving the time on certain occasions might be of help to the responders, (they ususally won't write it down anyway) ... Saying it at the end of each transmission might be a bit much. And saying " clear " is simply not enough. I dislike hearing a dispatcher simply saying " clear " . You're clear on whos traffic? I like using the car number... When you're clear on the traffic, simply state the car number. Your voice inflection will tell your unit if you are clear. That's one of the first signs that a prospective dispatcher is going to make it.... The voice inflection changes, and the units begin to know whether the dispatcher is asking a question.. or clearing the unit. Something that seems so simple to many of us... but for someone " off the street " can be very difficult and confusing. That and " the ear " .... Isn't it a wonderful thing when all of a sudden your new dispatcher begins to " hear " .... Weintraut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 >On our tapes the time is electronically put on the tape We give the time at the end of every transmission. Until we do, the air is ours. Once we give the time, it's first come first serve and we deal with that deputy until we give the time again. The system works for us and seems to keep people from tramping all over each other. Which brings me to belief that what matters is the discipline of adhering to the system -- any system.

I use " affirmative " in conversation, both verbally and in on-line discussions. I don't know why it always surprises folks - at least those who are also In The Biz. <shrugging> Maybe it's just odd to see someone type out those 11 letters as opposed to the much shorter 3 for " yes. " (Dunno why, but I haven't substituted " negative " for the colloquial " noop " I use for the obverse situations.) Happy to be here, proud to serve.
