I though I'd start a new topic about slang that only police officer use. The best one is Spin his drum - search his premises. Add to the list.
 
Spin his drum? How does that even make sense, lol? I don't know any myself, but these sound like they're going to be fun.
 
'You meet the description of a criminal we're looking for in this area'

...I'll let you figure that translation out on your own :rolleyes:
 
I've already encountered the slang phrase "window warrior" before which pertains to a prisoner who constantly shouts from his cell window.
 
I have never encountered any slang by police as I have never encountered them. I believe I have heard a fee in movies.
 
Standby - used [by dispatchers I suppose] to tell cops to wait for more information, delay action, etc.

Blue flamer - a disparaging term for a rookie officer who thinks he's the superhero cop who'll save everyone.

Beat - territory a police officer patrols.

3 hots and a cot -prison.
 
Incarseritis is used when a suspect gets magically sick just before getting arrested. It is the fear of going to jail.
 
It aint a slang..APB but it has been there ever since the 60's
all points Bulletin
BOLO = Be on the Lookout
