1. BOLO

   An all-points bulletin (APB) is an electronic information broadcast sent from one sender to a group of recipients, to rapidly communicate an important message. The technology used to send this broadcast has varied throughout time, and includes teletype, radio, computerized bulletin board systems (CBBS), and the Internet.The earliest known record of the all-points bulletin is when used by United States police, which dates the term to 1947. Although, used in the field of policing at the time, the APB has had usage in fields such as politics, technology and science research. However, since the 21st century, due to advances in technology, all-points bulletins have become significantly less common and are now only primarily used by police departments in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.

   A bolo can refer to two things. 1. A type of large knife originating from the Philippines, used both as a farming tool and a weapon. It is characterized by its pointed tip and wide, single-edged blade. 2. Bolo tie, a type of necktie consisting of a piece of cord or braided leather with decorative metal tips (called aiguillettes) and secured with an ornamental clasp or slide. It is often associated with Western wear and cowboy culture. The context of the term is necessary to distinguish between these two definitions.
