Local Alabama Police Replacing '10-4' With 'Roll Tide' & 'War Eagle' On Game Days

Football runs everything in SEC country during the fall. And here's further proof...the Pleasant Grove police department is making a slight tweak to their "10-4" call on game days...

Starting Saturday, Pleasant Grove officers will dispense with the regular use of "10-4", and instead substitute it with "Roll Tide" or "War Eagle" to acknowledge routine radio traffic.

"The obsession and excitement that college football has on this state is not lost on us,'' said Lt. Danny Reid. "We thought it would be fun to be a part of that passion and to let officers, who are stuck having to work on game days, express a little team spirit."

Reid estimates officers use the "10-4" code 80 to 100 times a day. That is a lot of team spirit.

"I'm just glad we don't have any Georgia or Tennessee fans. I don't think we would have approved any 'Go Vols' or 'Go Dawgs,'" he said. "That would just be criminal."

Crazy. I'm sure that won't cause ANY confusion when something goes down. Good luck, officers.
