About this tool
Searching for a "police phonetic alphabet"? In most countries today, police and other emergency services use the very same NATO/ICAO code words this converter produces — Alfa, Bravo, Charlie and the rest — rather than a separate system of their own.
A shared alphabet across aviation, military, police and public-safety radio means a license plate, a callsign or a name spelled "Sierra Oscar Sierra" means exactly the same thing to every listener, whatever agency they work for.
Type a plate number, badge code or name above to see it spelled out live; older region-specific variants still exist in some agencies, so always confirm the local convention if you are studying for dispatch or radio-operator training.
Example. Typing Hi! spells Hotel India, because the exclamation mark is skipped and H and I use the ICAO words.
Limit. Only A to Z and digits 0 to 9 are spelled; punctuation and spaces produce no code word.
