Officer we have a 187 on Main Street we have a 211 over have you ever heard
police saying these codes into their walkie-talkies and thought what do they
mean I know I have and today I'm going to tell you what these codes really mean
some of these codes you can actually use yourself imagine if you got pulled over
and you heard the guys say we have a five-o to learn these codes and you can
know what police are saying about you and also learn about some of the most
crazy codes police hope they never have to use I'm Charlie and today we're going
to be looking at what a police codes mean first before we get arrested for a
480 why not subscribe and press the notification bell - coming up first we
have 213 if you have a hear on a police scanner or on a police walkie-talkie 213
then run that's because a 213 refers to an
explosion but if you hear this code it doesn't necessarily mean that a nuke has
gone off an explosion can be anything from a car blowing up to a terror
incident either way it's very very scary and you should know what it means
usually when a 213 code is put out all police go to that one area as it's the
most pressing issue at the time next up we have 502 let's say you get pulled
over by the police and they come over to your vehicle they check your license
speak to you for a moment and then say 502 into their walkie talkie you may
think they're just saying some police jargon but don't be fooled
502 is the code for a drunk driver so if a cop pulls you over and says 502 into
their walkie talkie this means they think you're drunk if you hear this you
should try and act less drunk also get ready to do a few tests for example
seeing if you can touch your nose with your finger you may also be asked to try
and walk in a straight line or to a breathalyzer test and if you fail any of
these tests then you'll be arrested for DUI
but that is what 502 means drunk driver next up is 1011 you may love dogs and
police do too but sometimes police encounter very very dangerous dogs that
criminals use to ward off police if a policeman encounters a scary dog
then he'll say ten eleven into his walkie-talkie this will signal to any
other offices that a dangerous dogs in the area must be warned
police are allowed to shoot at dogs if they think the dog is a danger to their
life so if you're encountering the police and you hear them say 10 11 then
make sure to tell them that your dog is safe if it is next up is
one-eighty-seven one-eighty-seven is a very common police code but it's a code
no cops like to hear a 187 is code for a murder
this means a cop has found a body somewhere and doesn't know what to do
next all this means is that backup should come to the scene as someone is
no longer alive sadly this is a very common police code which has said dozens
of times every day next up is 4:17 this code is essential and it's important
that you know it if you're dealing with a cop and you hear him say 4:17 into a
radio this means he thinks you have a gun
417 is code for firearm this will heighten the cop's awareness for the
situation and the awareness of any backup officers who come to the scene
also if you're using a police scanner and here 417 and then stay away from the
area as it may be tame for us next up is 480 let's say someone's carelessly
driving and then hit someone what they should do in this situation is call an
ambulance and the police but did you know that most of the time people simply
drive off this is known to cops as a 480 or - you and I a hit-and-run if cops
here 480 on their radio they have to rush to the scene someone could be
severely hurt and the person is getting away in a vehicle
this means they not only have to make sure the person who was hit it's okay
but also apprehend the guy who's driving away next up is 604 if you hear the code
604 in a police scanner then stay away from the area
that's because 604 means throwing missiles
this doesn't necessarily mean kyndra moon is out there throwing nucular bombs
around more likely it's people throwing fireworks and firecrackers at each other
but in a terror incident it could also mean a bazooka or a missile launcher
going off either way if you hear that on a police scanner or police radio then to
stay well away from the area if cops hear this they will be very very
frightened but all will have to go to the area as it's the most pressing issue
at the time next up is 211 a 211 is another very common police code it
simply means that a robbery is taking place this could be at a business like a
bank or a convenience store or at a person's home if police are available
they will go to this scene but if something more pressing like a 2 13 or a
187 is going on then police will leave this for later after all when a robbery
is taking place it doesn't necessarily mean that anyone is in physical danger
next up we have 390 in many countries being drunk in public may be annoying
for people but it is not illegal but in most parts of the United States being
drunk in public is actually a crime it's called public intoxication and can
actually get you put in what's known as the drunk tank this is a holding cell
where inmates will be kept while they sober up but how do you know if please
think you're drunk or not well if you're talking to a cop and they say 390 this
means that they think you're drunk that should be pretty sobering alone as you
don't want to go to jail for the night so it's probably best to calm down and
walk away from the situation if possible when you hear this code next up is 417 l
so we know that 417 is code for a firearm but the one weapon one rung
below a firearm is a knife that's exactly what code 417 AL means if
there's an incident involving a knife then this code will be put out on police
scanners if you hear this in your area then you should stay inside for the mean
time and not go anywhere outside in case the person with a knife is outside if
cops hear this they will be scrambled to the situation as they don't want
anyone's life to be in danger most of the time for 17 codes relate to
gang activity in areas and police will take extreme precautions using things
like vests and also tasers and finally on the list we have 417 B so we've
already gone over 417 and 417 l well the meaning behind 417 B is in the code B
means bomb 417 B is a very scary code does it mean someone has an explosive
somewhere in the area if you're eavesdropping a police scanner and hear
this then stay in a safe place it means there's an active situation and all
police will be scrambled to that area if this code is for an act or so if you're
in a public place and you hear this code on a police radio then run but make sure
you don't run into danger and take the advice of law enforcement so now you
know exactly what police codes mean but now it's time to make your opinion heard
