Heh. When I worked military police at Miramar we would make a radio rendevouz of patrol cars to take a spotlight out to some of the far edges of the base to go hunting for DELTA-ECHO-ECHO-ROMEO. I don't know why we bothered spelling it out because everyone listening was in the military, too.
My favorite, though, was when we did a traffic stop and got a real jerk behind the wheel. We'd call for backup by telling dispatch we had an ADAM-HENRY. It didn't use the phonetic alphabet, but it got the point across even better by using what appeared to be a real name.
