The police have always
had their own language. But their often-mocked manner of speaking to the
public displays a streak of comic genius, says Charles Nevin.
As we tweet, text, abbreviate and generally truncate our way
through this frantic life, it's good to know that there is at least one
small area of public discourse where a relish for orotundity and a
delight in stately sarcasm still flourish. I refer, of course, to those
upstanding upholders of order, our police.
