You really have to give the public safety folks credit. No swearing on
the radio. No matter how bad things are - no one swears. I have been
listening to the scanner for close to 40 years now. I have probably
heard 5 swears in all of that time. (Maybe I am not listening to the
right channels :-).

Basically - the FCC says that swearing is not allowed. So all the
Chiefs say to the employees -  "you have to follow the FCC rules". So
everyone polices themselves and keeps their emotions under control.
The simple FCC rule probably saves countless lives and dollars in
losses annually. "Keeping your head while all of those around you lose
theirs" is the hallmark of a good commander. And a effective
commander. Who leads an effective community safety force.
