A Citizens Guide to Police Speak
Our best guess at what all those abbreviations mean (we think)

We don't have a complete list of police abbreviations, and to be honest, some of them seem to be created on the fly.

But here is a list of the most commonly used abbreviatons, and what (we think) they mean.

We know this is not a complete list - if you find a new abbreviation, please email Daily Crime Report and we will do our best to get a translation.
