Standard Communication
UPI – 5 years later and now one force in one state has a standard open communication language – standard plain english responses –
Localized codes squawked over police radio bands weren’t a problem until the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks threw many responders together, the Post said. After the attacks, federal Homeland Security officials required first responders to speak in plain English when working an event with other agencies.
But as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security began developing a national emergency response system, officials found they needed to ensure that responders spoke the same language.
