What is meant when an officer says they are out on a bo vehicle or something similar to that saying?
The term "B.O." refers to something in "bad order" or "not working". You may also hear them say "909T" which is a radio code for "traffic hazard."
Do you have a list of codes that might be heard when listening to APD? i often do and some of the codes found at ACPO's website and other radio sites dont always correspond with APD...
Also, what radios does Arcadia PD currently use in thier patrol units and portable radios?
I heard from someone that APD always monitors MPD.. What do they use to do that since APD has UHF radios.. Scanners?
Give me a day or so and I will toss a post up with the info...
At an intersection where there is a left turn light, sometimes it says left turn on left signal only, sometimes that wording is not included. If it is not included, is it legal to make a left turn (assuming there is no oncoming traffic) even if the left turn signal is not lit?
If there is a dedicated left turn signal, you must follow those lights. Usually, you would be facing a solid red/green arrow only, in a dedicated left turn lane. The signs may have language that restrict the turn to only when the green arrow is lighted. Some signals are set-up to only light a green arrow when there is traffic demand in that lane, such as E/B and W/B Huntington at Santa Anita. That type of signal allows either a protected left turn with a green arrow or a left turn as traffic permits on a solid green. Each intersection is unique and may have variations of signals configurations.
