How does someone "work a 13?"


Just a pet peeve of mine.

It makes no sense, just like when many members use "23" as another option for "yes." (Ex: "999 do you have a Signal 14 at scene?"..."23") A Signal 23 is "Message Received" according to Nassau County designated radio signals. It doesnt necessarily mean in the affirmative. I know this should probably be in the radio column and not here but I thought about it as soon as I saw the other post.

Signal 12 for radio purposes only. What other purposes are there?

You never hear people ask the dispatcher for a "signal 39" when they arrive at an intersection or a location and find nothing.

You often hear units that are "on a twenty-one." Or need to be shown that they are "22".

Is it necessary for every unit to give a 13? Or just the bus when coming out of the hospital?

Signal 7 all stations? The meaning say's to release the men in stations, no?

I hope we've worked out the need to still say "Have your crew Scott'ed up and ready to go." over the air. Give me ####ing break. Might as well tell everyone to wear clean underwear and comb their hair as well.

Yeah a niegboring chief would say that once in a while ... "Bring in a few cans." Just stretch the line. God knows people need the practice.
