I know a lot of cops, and I've never heard a single one of them utter a
single "forthwith"...

Were you with any of them during emergency radio calls for assistance?

"Forthwith" is code for "emergency" in both the FDNY and NYPD:
NYPD:
"When a cop calls a "signal 10-85 forthwith" on himself, it usually
means he's in a world of trouble. Usually, cops will use the "signal
10-85 forthwith" when they need help rather than the "signal 10-13
assist patrolman". That call was reserved for the most serious
incidents.
FDNY:
10-48 Request police forthwith for harassment
10-85 Need additional unit(s) (specify forthwith/no emerg.)
http://maxpages.com/frequencies/NYPD_Radio_Codes
Here is a site of a law firm headed by two former NYPD cops:
"10-85 Forthwith
Bringing a combined 41 years of NYPD Experience
THE LAW FIRM OF
------------------------------------------------
Grafstein-Suarez & Associates, PC
Admitted to Practice Law in New York, New Jersey & Connecticut and the
Federal Courts
is available to assist NYC police officers forthwith*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Retired Lieutenant: Glen A. Suarez, Esq. (20 years)
Retired Sergeant, S.A.: David V. Suarez, Esq. (21 years)"
http://www.sidegig.com/sidegig/ATTORNEY.htm
It is the equvalent to the military's "On the double" or "double time"
In the case of the scene in "Blue Bloods" The rookie's training
officer puts out a forthwith in connection to a 10-85 needing
additional units when he thought there was possibly a bomb in the car
that tried to avoid the road block check point by turning around.
I heard it once in "real life" on the 10 part documentary show "NYPD
24/7" in 2005. It was a "Cops" like reality format with camera crews
following NYPD detectives Anti-Crime and patrol units around and in a
radio call one of the detectives did say "forthwith".
Here is a testimonial from a NYPD forum:
"I responded to the 10-85 forthwith put over the air that night by the
officer who was working the "Tag and Tow" detail on the corner of West
175 Street and Amsterdam Avenue. I won't give his name because like
the good cop that he was and still is, he's been haunted by this. P.O.
Williamson, who I never knew nor even met, responded to the 10-85
forthwith. There was a HUGE crowd out there that night going nuts
about the towed livery cars. Pure pandemonium, but we were able to
clear the street. Then an illegal alien named Pedro Gill went to the
roof of 501 West 175 Street, a 6 story building, with a 40 pound
bucket of spackle, and he launched it over the ledge, crushing
Williamson's head. I heard this sudden explosion, and I thought it was
a shotgun blast. There was blood all over coming from his eyes, ears,
nose and mouth. The crowd started cheering wildly in approval. Gill,
an illegal alien, fled to the Dominican Republic but was convinced
into coming back by 34th Precinct Detectives. I wont give their names
either, true professionals and clearly the greatest detectives
anywhere. Gill was arrested for Murder 2nd degree. At trial, he was
found not guilty of murder. The jury said that the NYPD could have
handled the parking situation better, so they acquitted Gil of murder,
finding him guilty of manslaughter. Not a day goes by I don't think of
what happened that night on One Seven Five and Amst."

They may as well say stat. If they use the code for "officer in trouble", what's the need for an extra word such as forthwith. Yes it may be in the manuals but policy and procedure is rewritten by lawyers. Real officers don't actually use the word. I'm in the EMS world. I listen to all emergency response radios. If your in an emergency situation you don't have time for big words trust me. Everything is to the point to keep down band chatter. Just to clear things up...simply.

They're not as accurate. The NYPD does use that term in real life:

priority code: 1085-Forthwith. 1085-Forthwith. Officers in pursuit
need assistance. Repeat, officers in pursuit need assistance.

The 911 call, originally "Signal 10-54, difficult breathing" had been
assigned to 122 Precinct Sector Henry. Police Officer Stephen
LaSpina and his partner Police Officer Angela Leszczynski arrived
quickly and the three women directed them to the basement. They ran
downstairs and found the father desperately trying to hold the door
closed. When the cops called for "Anthony" to stop, he became silent.
When Officer LaSpina opened the door a crack, the naked and violent
son lunged at him. The cop slammed the door shut with the aid of the
father. Officer Leszczynski ran to get the protective shield from the
radio car. LaSpina struggled to hold the door shut as he shouted over
his portable radio that he now had a violent EDP (emotionally
disturbed person). As the barricaded male hammered against the door,
LaSpina called for the response of the Emergency Service Unit,
"forthwith.""

that particular term is part of their own special jargon. I work with NYPD
every year for about two weeks or so and I hear them use it all the time.
It's unique to them, part of their culture. The show has it right.

I don't know if the problem is his acting or the way his character is
written. Not a lot an actor can do with that.

It appears that " forthwith " is an NYC Public Safety specific term. Down here in Nawlins' we just use words like
" Immediately ", " ASAP ", " Expedite ", sometimes throwing in " like yesterday " as an added form of emphasis, in public safety communications. I've never heard the term " forthwith " more used and abused anywhere but on Blue Bloods television series. Time to get a thesaurus guys!

You need to understand that NYPD cops often speak in the same language that their reports will be written in. That's why words like "forthwith" and "perpetrator" have become part of their everyday parlance.

Mikey: My dad used the term 'forthwith' all the time. He served as a Marine for some 28yrs b4 retiring (20yrs is retired from military), cont'd as a civilian & a professor on-base, entered the police academy a few years later. He worked up the ranks as a state trooper, worked up from patrol officer to Sgt, then earned his gold shield (detective). In his mid- to late-80s, he was a volunteer fireman. After he collapsed & one of his fellow firefighters found him; Dad had a heart attack requiring 5 stents to be placed surgically. His cardio doc refused to approve him to return to active duty, tho he was in the midst of a 5mi walk when he collapsed. Dad & I used to meet up in the mornings for a 10mi run before work. And, we made the same run over the weekend & holidays.
There are many, many terms he used that were carryovers from his time as a Marine & his time as a cop. Hunter's remarks are spot-on. The only thing I can add to it is that when there are plain clothes cops or off-duty cops in the area then that is sent out over the radio when making the call. This is so other cops know they are there so they don't get into a shooting match. Dad also worked in areas where plain clothes officers have to have the "color of the day" in order to do the same.
Yes, I realize this is old but I wanted to add it after finding this post. Some really great info here. I've been binge-watching Blue Bloods for a few weeks now & I'm about caught up to Season 8, which is also where I began watching the show.

the precursor article has undoubtably expired on one's News server.

Come on! I just started watching this show but it is obvious that the writers are simply using the word as their own personal joke. If they ever release bloopers of the show, you are going to see the actors gagging every time they have to say it. The writers are just having fun with it.

We may need it but it's pretty clear we aren't going to get it. Did you
see the announcement earlier this week about the new transgender
superhero? Hollywood is NOT going in the direction you or I might like....

Danny is the perfect example of a bad cop! Breaks rules on a regular basis, hits and threatens possible perpetrators!! He has a serious anger control problem!!

I searched, "blue bloods and forthwith" and your post came up. HILARIOUS! I casually scrolled down to see other peoples' comments, blah, blah, blah. I still think your original post is spot on. Blue Bloods is the show I watch when I'm bored. There are so many inaccuracies, it's laughable.

If you type "forthwith blue" immediately it knows you're going to type bloods. Shows how overused it is!

I thought it was ridiculous so I asked a buddy who is an NYPD detective. He said he's never seen the show, but from what he's heard from co-workers it's one of the most accurate depictions. And yes they do use the word forthwith for all emergencies and any time something needs to be done in a hurry. Looks like the writers actually did some research.

In article <8bfbc510-27f9-42b5...@googlegroups.com>,
months under a different screen name and asks the same moronic question
about one word on a TV show, and which has been explained over and over
again.

Mikey I think this term is used mostly in NY. If you ever saw the old NYPD Blue this term was used a lot there also.
