TTO

English Law/Patents police slang?
TTO

We've got a male in custody. Can we confirm TTO?

What TTO stands for?

maybe...

Suitable references for TTO are few and far between.

However, thinking along the lines of an arrest, I would hazard a guess at something like 'Time of The Offence'.

Without knowing the context, it is quite difficult.

Sorry for not being more helpful.

medicine to take out

Could it be medicine to take out, cf. the below links...?
Peer comment(s):

agree Billy McCormac (X) : Hard without a little more context, but I'd agree: To Take Out

neutral edlih_be : This does not fit in with the rest of the sentence. Having taken someone into custody, I don't think the police would be asking about 'to take out'.

TTO = Turn Tape Off

At least in some cases, TTO means "Turn Tape Off".

The link below lists a court case about this; scroll down to the third paragraph of Section C.

er, actually... Time and Type of Offence

Police walkie-talkie jargon, that's all! :)

Just back from interpreting at Ladywell Police Station, Metropolitan Police Service Division S. They confirm what I was told the other day at Brixton Police Station -- TTO means time and type of offence. No use looking for it in sources -- it\'s not there. It\'s simply police jargon. Lighten up!
