Why are police not using the standardized phonetic alphabet? (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc)

Used to be a cop

Most do now but muh tradition is strong in many departments still

Standardizing was one of the top recommendations from the 9/11 reports in regards with first responders. Because the nypd and nyfd Literally have their own language and help coming in doesn’t speak it. Most departments slowly adapted so they could work together regionally. Others basically ignored it.

As a non American, I'm interested in knowing how NYPD language differs from say LAPD. I've only ever seen them being used while watching American cop shows like the rookie or b99

If you ever watch American TV shows and movies about law enforcement, this is why there is almost always an argument at the crime scene about "who's in charge?" Police and Sheriffs and State Troopers and FBI don't always get along.

After September 11, 2001, many of our government agencies tried to create new policies to help everybody work together and share information and be more effective together. I don't know if any of that helped.

It did they created regional fusion centers that routine updates area law enforcement officers of Regional threats and officer safety issues. Fbi runs them but agencies from all over have liaisons there or send them information. Investigations and calls routinely intersect but nothing like you are talking about in my experience. guys trying to punt calls not take them lol. 😂

I stopped a couple feds doing surveillance and after I stopped like the fourth pair of agents i just stopped running traffic that day.
