I only have a moment or two, so I would like to share a couple of quick ones:
Said by my favorite salty officer when clearing a barking dog complaint:
"Me and the dog reached an understanding, and he agreed to my terms. Advised, cooperative. 10-8"
"I'll be out with a couple of independent strawberry entrepreneurs."
Later I dispatched this same officer to a hot call. I was a little rusty due to lack of recent shifts, so I was so proud that I remained calm, relayed the suspects descriptions, and no weapons mentioned, past contacts, etc. When I finally un-keyed the mic to take a huge relieved breath, the officer said,
"That's all great, but where am I going?"
I forgot to tell him where to go! Duh, that's dispatching 101: Location, location, location. Mortifying.
