Lighten up some!
Bit of bickering lately. Maybe it's time for a very temporary change in format, time to get more people out of the lurking shadows (we know you're out there).
Okay, tables are open. Share some of the funniest - funniest - things you've had happen on the radio, or some of the funniest calls you had. Not worst, not most angering (we may open the tables for that at a later date). Funniest. Everyone needs a laugh, PCOs are no different.
Share away, keep it clean (as opposed to mean, we mean). And as usual, no names or full beat numbers.

Sorry, that was me. I'll start here.
Zone 10: 11xx, theft from the McDonalds on Madison, m/b offender with a grey trenchcoat took a bag of buns and fled w/b.
30 seconds pass.
Anonymous unit #1: Squad, got a description from Madison?
Anonymous unit #2 (without skipping a beat): Yeah, male white, short, wearing a black face mask and a black and white striped outfit, goes by the street-name of Hamburglar.
some years ago working a southside district. The call comes out 0300hrs. of a m/b in a wheelchair selling dope on this corner.
Officer #1: "squad, do you have a better description"?
Officer #2 (and most likely an old timer): "Hey kid, chances are, anyone on that corner, at this time of night, in a wheelchair, is probably your suspect".
1st dist years ago found a body in the sewer in the middle of grant park the guy had on levis jeans and a timex .....ya u guessed it the watch was still going an the levis were in good condition all this on the bones ...his body didnt fair to well ...no that would be a good ad !
I was sent out on a check the well being in 004. I arrived at the scene and the victim was non responsive. I asked the zone to send an abmulance stating the victim appears to be DOA. The dispatched responded and asked if the victim was in the front do way (door way) or the back do way?
I responded and told the dispatcher again that the victim appears to be DOA!
Dispatchers response,(now yelling at me) I need to tell the Fire Dept. if the victim is in the front do way or the back do way!!!
I laugh at this every time I hear "DOA" used over the radio.
918 h hhahahahah
Chicago Emergency
citz: hi - i would like to make a fraud report
What happened?
citz: it's my cell phone
Has someone stolen your cell phone?
citz: no. I'm not getting my night and weekend minutes. (citz goes on talking for another minute about this "fraud")
I'm sorry, maam. This is not a police emergency.
citz: Well, send the police so that I can make a fraud report.
You'll have to call your phone company maam.
I used to love runing that plate that someone put into the Secretary of State computer - used to F69901 or something. It always came back to a "Jack MeHoff" and the address was somewhere down in Boys Town near Wrigley. We must have gotten the Zone 10 midnight crew two or three times, always asking them "Squad, could you repeat that name. Gimme a spelling on that." Those were the days. Someone eventually changed it to "J. MeHoff" and then it got removed entirely, but it was great while it lasted
Unit: Squad.....(then nothing but laughter)
Me: Is there a unit out there with an emergency?
Unit: Yeah squad (more laughter) it was *32, we had a foot pursuit, but lost the midget offender because we were laughing to hard.
Unit: Yeah squad, offender wanted for "battery" is a m/1/24 with no arms or legs. Last seen heading w/b on ******* st.
Me: What???
Unit: *06c
Me: *06c go ahead
Unit: Do other districts have use up shitty broken toilets on the side of the building like we do here?
Me2 06c
06c go ahead

About 15+ years ago, on Zone 5, female P/O gets on the radio "2131. "Go ahead 2131.""Squad, we're at 31 and the Lakefront and we're having a problem with these guys we told to leave and they're refusing and say they won't go until they talk to a Sergeant." The Zone, without missing a beat,"Doesn't sound like a problem at all, 2172, 31 and the Lakefront for 2131."
For my spatchers on zone1, you will know who this is! My favorite is asking to be held down in the district. Dispatche asks....should I hold you down on reports, and I reply NO....however it will involve paper.

25XX: I dont know but he hit his head so hard he can only speak polish now.
