Did any of you guys quit after day 1 becoming cop or not long after from not understanding radio communication?
I always wondered this. I downloaded the police radio scanner app and after a couple of days of just listening to how cops communicate, I genuinely don’t understand how cops do it. It’s extremely difficult to understand what is being said. Not to mention some dispatchers barely articulate themselves properly. They will murmur something and I’m just there like no way the officers actually just got that address or suspect description. I wonder if some cops have quit for the very reason of not being able to understand the radio?
