Every career has its own special lingo and law enforcement is not any different. When writing detective stories, you want to make your story to read realistically so it draws your reader into the tale. But short of starting a law enforcement career, how do you go about making your police characters seem real.

One way to bring your officers to life is have them speak like real policemen. Adding bits of lingo to your officer's speech will go a long way to make them even more real for your readers.

Regular Talk

When speaking to each other, police officers will use the language of their job. Much like an accountant or lawyer, they have their own unique way to communicate to their colleagues. Here are some words and phrases you can use to make your detective sound more real. The civilian word is first, the police version second.

Go to --------------------- Respond to
Fight --------------------- Disturbance
Car ----------------------- Vehicle
Person -------------------- Party
Kids ---------------------- Juveniles
Ticket -------------------- Summons
Yes ----------------------- Affirmative
No ------------------------ Negative
Wait ---------------------- Stand by
I understand -------------- Copy
I'm on the way ------------ I'm in route
Got out of the car -------- Exited the vehicle
Man ----------------------- Male
Woman --------------------- Female

Another thing to remember is most police do not call a known bad guy a "perp", they call them suspects. In court, they call them defendants and when detained, they are arrestees. A particularly evil bad guy might elicit a "dirt bag" comment from an officer, but only if he isn't able to be overheard by a superior or the press.

Much of this "lingo" comes from the manner in which they have to write their reports. Because they have to be clear and very formal in their writings, they tend to speak the same way.

Radio Talk

Police spend a lot of time talking to each other on their radios. It is the easiest and most convenient method of communication. Most police radio conversations are in plain English, but they do have some "standard" codes they use when on the radio.

Code Two Regular response, no emergency. There is no need for lights and sirens.

Code Three Use lights and sirens. This is used when officers need back up quickly, but are still in control.

Code Four I'm okay. Officers will use this one to make sure a fellow officer is all right, or to let other officers know they are fine.
