Need a little creative help. What does a cop yell when someone he's just discovered may (or may not) be a suspect suddenly runs from the scene of a crime? Need something better than "You can't leave the scene ..." or "Stop, don't run!" What would a cop yell normally under those circumstances??? Thanks very much!

I think that cops use freeze instead of stop.
Freeze or I'll shot.

From personal experience...
Stop! If you make me run after you I will taser your A-$-$
Stop or we'll release the K-9 dog on you
and other things that are xxx rated... :rolling:

Go to you tube and watch clips from "Cops".
I don't think there's a script, though. Probably just depends on the Cop.

Yep, cops is a good show to learn how to do things the wrong way.

So there is a script given to police officers that tells them exactly what to say in this situation?

So, essentially there's no such thing a "wrong"?
It all depends on the individual cop.

Like a teacher, when a cop has to yell, control is
already lost.
On "Cops" you see most often the cops will pursue
on foot on in vehicle, corner the person, ask them
for I.D and ask them why they ran. All very calmly
unless the suspect pulls a weapon or resists.

When my dad was in the Army in Germany, he was chasing a guy (Dad was counterintelligence, working to police various black market post-wartime operations).
Dad meant to say, "Halt, oder ich shiesse!" Which means, "Stop, or I'll shoot!"
Unfortunately, what he ended up saying was, "Halt, oder ich sheisse!" Which means, "Stop, or I'll sh!t!"
The guy stopped short, literally fell down laughing, and said, "Please, no. We have such clean streets."
This probably doesn't help you, but it's one of my favorite stories of my dad's, and I don't get a lot of opportunities to bring it up in casual conversation.
And they did take the guy into custody, so you see, it was quite effective, as capture techniques go.

That's funny. Had a few of those when I was overseas as an MP.

That's really funny, Jilly.
My Dad was NYPD. Once when we were little kids, he took us for a ride to Brooklyn on his day off to give my Mom a break. He was showing us his old haunts because that's where he grew up.
As we're driving toward a red light, the car in front of us rear-ends the first car which was already stopped at the light.
The weird thing is, the young driver of the car which was hit (and in the "right"), swings out and starts running on foot.
Cop instincts kick in: stolen car. My Dad starts driving after him. I mean he was in the zone, as if me and my brother weren't there.
The kid cuts down a side street -- my Dad chuckles, "Dumb." It was a dead end, really dead -- concrete wall.
Like I said this was Dad's old neighborhood.
But the kid actually tries to scale it. Dad throws the car into park, grabs him and then puts his finger to the back the kid's head as if it's a gun (Dad never liked to carry his gun off duty). He says, "Let's not be stupid." The kid assumed the position without being asked.
My brother's freaking out, "His finger?!"
But then reality sets in, Dad realizes it's his day off and now he has to arrest the guy and do paper work. A crowd forms and another off duty cop who lives on the street steps up.
Dad starts negotiating with him, "Did you have dinner yet?" The other cop says, "Yeah." "Well I didn't and I have my kids in the car. Come on." The other cop gives in and takes the car thief off his hands.
Dad gets back in the car, "Don't tell your mother."
We rode home in silence.

All due respect, but that was foolish and dangerous for your father to put two childrens lives in jeparody for a stolen vehicle whether he was the zone or not. On most departments he would have been fired. Felons are a dime a dozen. Your children are not replaceable if something goes wrong. :eek:

Yes. Years later I asked him about that. He realized it was foolish and dangerous and felt bad about it.

Good cops always reevaluate their mistakes and become stronger because of them. Sounds like your dad had a lot of drive. Probably would have been fun to work with him. :D Nothing worse than a lazy a-s-s cop.

As a former 911 dispatcher, I listened to lots of pursuits from the point where the officer calls in to report that someone is fleeing -- usually right after they take off. Their mike stays open sometimes until they catch the person. I never heard them yelling much at the runner, so if they yell anything it's probably a couple of words at the beginning.
Also, liberals love police officers too.

Now--I've been around here long enough to know that there's at least a few DDer's who've fled the scenes of crimes as, well, umm...shall we say, "persons of interest." :D
So let's hear it: what'd you guys hear the cop yelling at your back while you were all a$$holes and elbows???
BANG! BANG!
"Freeze!"
Joke. Actually, I put in my term as Law Enforcement in the AF, and on that rare occasion I had to yell something it was some variation of "Freeze, you dumb ass!"

And then there was the time when I was 13 and there was a peeping Tom looking in my window.
Bad luck for Tom, choosing a cop's daughter to peep at.
But that night is another story.
