    Rare radio calls

    A question for LEO's. How often have you responded to a 905R call? If so what happened?

    And what other highly unusual calls have you responded to, if I may ask?

      Ok, Yeah that one might need clarification because of it's unusual nature. In this case it's a rabid animal call. But, any rare or unusual call is fair game.

      Edit: to give an example, I have heard of rabid cougars and if that wasn't bad enough rabid polar bears in Alaska. Something that Alaska state troopers have had to deal with on rare occasion.

        I think a lot of the smaller agencies, it's not so uncommon. We get animal calls all the time.

        Most are stupid as hell, but we get a few good ones every now and then.

        Nothing really unusual other than a crappy dispatch that makes it seem unusual. Mostly annoying...

        Dispatch: Shots fired: RP claiming white male shooting really large gun in a negligent way in the area of XYZ.

        Me: Description, DOT, Vehicle, additional subjects?

        Dispatch: RP didn't really see, just heard shots and they sounded big.

        Me: So they only heard gun shots, in the wilderness, and determined the subject was firing it in a negligent way???

        Dispatch: ... Long pause... Yeeeeah.... Long pause.

        Me: Show me en route

        On scene: Subject lawfully shooting a .22, observing all laws and rules of firearms safety. Code 4 10-8.

        We respond to all calls, no matter how stupid, annoying or completely lawful.

            Interesting: on the Alaska fish and game website they mention not to shoot a rabid animal in the head. I guess that may more easily spread rabies. And I guess shooting a rabid animal might contaminate the shooter if any splatter comes backwards.

            Edit: I see animal calls aren't a favorite topic. If you have any unusual 5150's/918 callouts, or similar that might be more interesting.

            Information about Rabies in Alaska such as animals affected, causes, signs and protective measures.

              I work in a federal detention center. the most interesting calls I have had when I was a Sgt was a guy smearing feces all over his cell walls, and the other was a tranny in a PC cell block who would walk around without a shirt and a bra on. When I responded I was stunned for a moment because I thought one of my COs had put a female on the wrong floor, luckily that was a secured cell block so all the othere inmates were locked down. I would have hated to roll in if it was an open dorm, there were alot of inmates panting at the bars lol. You guys cuff up the crazies and deliver them to me I have to deal with them all damn day lol.

                    I was approving a report this morning about an individual who likes meth, porn, sex toys and violating the vehicle code. The best part of the report was the officer's interview where the suspect stated he scored some meth, went to the gym and worked out and then taped up his twig and berries with brown electrical tape and was driving to one of his ladies' pad to do some dirty deeds when the police stopped him and ruined his little party.

                      As a Navy MAA I once got dispatched to remove a spider from a lady's garage....

                      Me: Did you really need to call us (base police) for this? It's only a spider.
                      Her: What? You got something more important to do?
                      Me: Umm... So should I kill it or just move it?

                        "Suspicious vehicle at First and Main...no description."

                        My response was "I've got it at Tenth & Santa Clara."

                        Well, it WAS a car...
