Below you will find an alphabetical listing
of a wide variety of abbreviations and acronyms
used by various police and law enforcement
personnel, special police units, as well as
other groups working to make communities safer
around the world.
While certain "insider" terms and lingo are
used and recognized almost exclusively within
law enforcement, other terms have gained wider
acceptance and entered the vernacular of the
general public.
NOTE: Not all of the groups listed below are
still active, while others may have taken on
new monikers. Be aware that some of these
abbreviations and acronyms may have completely
different meanings in different locales. If
no location is offered for a group or organization,
this usually means it exists in several locations
around the world.
PUNCTUATION NOTE: We're cognizant of the fact
that some of the organizations listed below
fail to use proper punctuation in their names.
