[Scan-DC] Fw: FW: Fw: "Signal 13" - Montgomery County Police?

[Kenneth Fowler]

It is actually part of a greater movement for plain language and
interoperability. I believe the federal  NIMS compliance has a lot to
due with it.  The Commonwealth of Virginia has mandated that all
agencies use only the 4 following codes:

Signal 1 - Officer Needs Assistance Immediately
Signal 2 - Backup non emergency
Signal 3 - Taking Subject into Custody
Signal 4 - Relay confidential information
