FAQ

Why is 9 spelled "Niner"?

To avoid confusion with the German "nein" (no) and to keep every digit at roughly two syllables for clearer radio transmission.

Is this the same as the police phonetic alphabet?

No — NATO/ICAO is the international standard. Some police forces use the older LAPD alphabet (Adam, Boy, Charles…).
