Additionally most of the emergency buttons are configured to open the mic on the radio for 10-15 sec allowing the dispatcher to hear what's going on without the officer having to keep his/her hand on the mic button. Very effective for emergency communications.MoJo wrote:A lot of the walkies that police and fire use have an orange or red button that when pressed sends out a distress code.
A deputy sheriff friend of mine was trying to cuff a 90 pound "lady of the evening" when she tried to grab his gun. The only thing he could do was hang on to the cuffs and protect his gun. He hit the button and hoped help got there before somebody got shot. Within three minutes he said there were four city cops three deputies and a DPS trooper there to lend a hand. Needless to say, the "lady" who was being picked up for a misdemeanor warrant wound up with a felony resisting arrest charge added.
