ASK WYE – Issue 2 – What’s with all the different names for law enforcement?
Issue 2 of our listener questions special comes from “Mr Nick” himself all the way from Australia and it has to do with the confusing web of names we here in the US give Law Enforcement.
- Police
- Sheriff
- Highway Patrol
- Trooper
What does it all mean?
Your hosts Motorcop and the Happy Medic do their best to explain the chaos that is American law enforcement jurisdictional policy and compare that to Fire Departments and Ambulance service providers. Spoiler alert: IT gets confusing, even for the experts.
The guys find a number of different examples to hopefully answer Nick’s question, then stumble across 2 perfect resources that explain everything.
Do you have a question for the Police and the Fireman? No recording, exporting or emailing required! Just click the little blue bar on the side of our homepage and Speakpipe will record 90 seconds and send it to us as an MP3. Leave your name and location if you like or we’ll make one up based on our current mood. Got that, Felicia?
