Cops who've had to call in for an "all units", what happened?

About the northern Irish one, I find it very interesting that it’s implied the police drive around in armored cars for fear of the people

r/whoosh

I can't even focus on the video after I heard how you said Duluth ;-;

its pronounced duh-looth

I believe this is known as a signal 100

Okay, what the heck is a Swordfish? All I can find on the Googles are hacker jargon and a film about a bank heist?

Mounted police is absolutely outstanding for crowd control and running thief and such. Nobody is going to outrun a horse.

I think the worst part about the "broken arrow" story is that "broken arrow" is old military (or just air force, not sure) speak for a nuke that got lost.

I'm the 2000th like

ALL UNITS 🗣️🗣️❗❗

Assetto Corsa No Hesi in the background actually goes crazy, at least it's better than subway surfer's lol

Story number two had me jumping between so many emotions so quickly. My very first thought was I feel so bad for the deployed spouse. Then the story continued and the roller coaster proceeded to swing me around. I'm glad the dog was taken care of!

Omg the rat one was fantastic lol.
When I worked for the PD my dumb ass dog got it's head stuck in our fence. I was out of state for training so she called my partner. Go figure word spread so I ended up with a ton of pics of the full PD, and fire dept getting my weird ass dog unstuck. After it happened it was hilarious but not at the time.

I got a fun story: one time when I was around 10 or 11 (I am 17 now) me and my dad were grabbing some vodka from the abc store for the upcoming beach trip( the vodka was for him not for me), when suddenly we see a white bmw with red rims fly past us, going at least 100 if not more downtown in the center of a small town. We pull over and the clerk at the abc store says that someone stole that car earlier this morning and that he was running everywhere to try and evade the police. Me and my dad waited for the news article to come out, and when we finally read it, we were shocked. Not only did this guy steal a car and go on a TWO HOUR police chase, he also had 10 pounds of cocaine, two jars filled with weed edibles, and a weapon that was in an unsolved attempted murder. He was also high out of his mind while the chase happened and his girlfriend helped him drive every time that he passed out.

punched him so hard he nearly ended him, DAMN. don't get in a fight with that dude

"All units, tim hortons has a discount on doughnuts"

Using "Broken Arrow" as a code for doughnuts? Really?

The other two uses for that code are:
1. In warfare, that code is used by a unit overwhelmed my enemy forces with little to ni chance if survival
2. "Broken Arrows" is a nickname for nuclear waheads that have been lost during transportation.

Using that code to signify "doughnut time!" is a BOLD move

Lightsaber guy… they should’ve sent in the Mandalorians. 😳

Code "broken arrow" means that a marine corps platoon is being overrun and about to be killed down to the man

I ahve one, cops went blue lights and sirens into a holiday park in the uk turnes out it was a substence bust.

god damn your driving sucks ass

just a quick mention on story 3. you said it was a little much to call dispatch over a mouse. but as an ex dispatcher I can says dispatch does have non-emergency lines. That is probably what she called on. Then dispatch probably told the officer over radio to call them privately for an "emergency" at home. prompting the response. It was not uncommon for me to get call for deputies families member asking me to be their messenger.

Wasn't directly involved (and I'm not a cop), but in my smallish town there was a hostage standoff that lasted 12+ hours a block from my apartment. I got to sort of watch it happening and be scared for the people involved. Good news: no one was hurt

So the now ex bank employe called in a bomb threat while his buddies in crime lit up some long lasting fireworks to make it seem real, then went and robbed another bank? or was the ex-employe apart of the one being robbed?

When it is the story 19 I feel for the Opie and him the guy with the cast-iron pan that would add up point down be considered self-defense. If the Mom‘s boyfriend who is not good president was beating on your mother tried baking on your sister and then did that to you that would be considered head self-defense in defense of the seven year old sister even maybe the mother they gave the mothers brother, who was the illicit substance dealer in which the officer was doing that Cop no on first service. It didn’t say that that that probably would be considered self-defense. You were the they open was defending themselves and the seven year old sister from someone who is known to be a bad person so hanging with the Catherine pin isn’t at that point be them defending themselves in the seven old sister so What kind a mother in their right mind death person like that especially if that person is abusive towards Evan especially if they’re abusive towards the children I guess if you’re in that consideration, you awfully have some issues of some sort another in, so if that’s what you Kendall‘s kind of with this is as it’s hard to get out and sometimes you don’t even know the persons true colors until it’s too late and then by the time you can’t really get yourself out That sounds like a buddy in that town knew this guy was piece of work so maybe the mother had some undiagnosed mental health struggles perhaps and that’s why she went with a guy who has not been not OK person and stayed with them and then got mad at the OP for protecting himself the sister and everything That’s the only thing I can think of for the mother to even put them in that situation then the long game mad at the OP for what he did. I’m assuming the whole P is a male it’s not my apologies. But sounds like he’s in the person with a Cathay invit. At that point it would it it is in Moses’s be considered self-defense, says defense of someone who is not a position to defend themselves because they were deciding themselves in the seven year old sister, who most seven-year-old girls are not in positions to defend them selves, especially noggins pieces of work men like that so that will be home cousins. The son first brother was just defending himself, and his little sister, who is unable to defend her self and never underestimate the power of a parent especially a cast iron pan. I mean Rapunzel and Disney’s tangled had a Point and there’s a reason to use that van they can do some damage. and also I’ve taken or not I make sure I always have a good old Salc pair near me as a younger woman who lives alone even though I live in a secure a locked building I said who is make sure that I have something near me to defend myself if it is just a pan for my kitchen because people guy use what they can’t defend selves if that means of pants in the kitchen, then so bitch

Someone had a camera....
Or a law abiding citizen daring to exercise their rights.
Giving a pig the finger.
All warrant these unhinged cowards trying to show force and intimidate. Only people they intimidate are their spouses. Highest rate of domestic violence than ANY other profession.

I recongize Story 7, im 95% sure they are talking about a bank robbery that happened in my city last year a few minutes away from my work. Some kids with assault rifles targettes the bank, there was reports of them having bombs. It was freaky, the city is usually pretty quiet and peaceful overall. My coworker was even there that day when the first shots were fired

OMG 'broken arrow' is a TERRIBLE code word for donuts. It's also the military's codeword for a lost nuke.

Story 24 man… if an alligator is towing an 18 foot boat upriver, I’m cutting the line. No Placid or Jaws for me

That calvary charge made me think of the reinforcements that gandalf got for Helms Deep charging down the hill into the orc army

What video game is running in the background? Looks surprisingly compelling.

Wh-whoa this is an hour, jesus, okay. You're doing great man, keep it up, but be sure to rest! ^^

just for future: it's "duh-looth" (Duluth, MN). i love these stories, man. makes my own life seems perfectly sane XD

Story 22 was a heart attack.. how would the dad do it?

I would have read the bus one the same

Acab

“All units”
“Local units”
“Already at maximum population”
“Higher tech level required, build more reactors”

We saw a terrible one of these in Chicago shortly after I moved here. Some friends and I were waiting for the bus on a major road leading into the financial district when these cop cars start SCREAMING past us heading into the center of the city. They're basically just a blur, going top speed, sirens screaming and flashing. We count FIFTEEN of them going past on our street alone and start to get a sinking feeling. There had been a lot of major protests recently and we're all wondering what could be going on in the city center to require this response.

Turns out, one of the major skyscrapers in the city center was an office building for some megacorporation. They had decided to have an active shooter drill. The building's administration wanted to surprise their employees to drive the lesson home, so they didn't tell them. ANY of them. ...including the building's security staff. So these security guards think there is at least one REAL active shooter inside this multinational corporation headquarters skyscraper. And they don't know how this shooter(s) got past security, since everyone has to go through a security checkpoint with a metal detector and an identity scan to get in the building. Which means, if there is an active shooter in the building, there is a possibility that the shooter(s) have overpowered lobby security. They call the police and tell them the same.

...and that is one of the ways to get a code swordfish in Chicago.

Former CO, had a situation with that bright orange panic button, an older CO was taking a 💩 and had hiked his duty belt up to drop em, he somehow managed to hit the " Down " button mid grunt sending everyone running to his last known location only to break down the bathroom door and find him sitting on the throne pants around his ankles and red in the face

You'd think that people wouldn't use the code word for "something has gone wrong involving a nuclear weapon" for 'donuts'.

Next time I think I fucked up I'm gonna remember 'at least I didn't summon every cop in a 50 mile radius for a car pool'
