Have you ever tried the Police Scanner App? It can stream the radio traffic from any jurisdiction in the US, and it lists the 10 or signal codes for each one.
I think maybe 1/2 of those were the same codes we use in Utah. Yep, about half. We're all supposed to be going plain speech, but 10 codes are beautifully concise. Same → 0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,13,18,20,21,22,23,25,27,28,29,41,42,46,50
He or she hasn't even told us what the feature is yet. You can't just go around handing out feel good vibes to developers without proper due diligence.
Lol, working on a system for officers to communicate without having to use the radio (if there is more important traffic). Having a shorthand for the 10 codes could make life easier. And since each agency may have different 10 codes, I could make them agency specific.
10-0 in my city means officer down/officer needs help where ALL available officers rush to that specific officers aid code 3 no matter what, an officer in my city had to use it recently when one of our officers was stabbed in the neck, thankfully she survived and is going to recover fully.
In the uk we have an emergency button on our radios and if we need urgent help like idk an officer has been stabbed you press that button and every unit in the area responds as a high priority and within minutes you have armed officers dogs and traffic police pulling up
@@margrettheoldgranny9668 True, its a standard thing on most radios here in the UK, that button has saved soo many lives not just in the police force, i am security and we have used it too.
Depends on how they changed. If they went to using encryption, yup you are out of luck (as mine did). If they just changed radio systems, then by buying a newer (more expensive) scanner you should be able to listen. The area departments moved to a new system and I was ready to upgrade my scanners when they decided to add encryption. So I did not send the money on the upgrade.
our county uses a trunking system witch uses several different bands with the radio trafic alternating between them. you can hear this happening if you tune into one of their frequencies and you get like 2 or 3 words then it cuts out and its silent. to fix this you need to know all of your departments frequencies and have a scanner that has a trunking system. the downside is unless your really savy with radios and scanners you will have to take it to someone who can set up the trunking system.
When I moved out here in 1996 the county ran an 800MHz trunked system. I had a great setup to listen to that system. Then after 9/11 there was a more regional 900MHz trunked system setup and pretty much everyone moved to it. I was just going to spend some $$ to upgrade my scanners when they started adding encryption. Not everything is encrypted, but the main agencies I would want to listen to are.
In the military that's call frequency hop. It is next to impossible to track unless you sinked your radio at the exact moment they did when installing the frequency codes in their radio. Or sto ing them

Great video 401! A lot of departments engage in community outreach to build trust but I'd have to say that what you do surpasses many of those efforts. You're giving the public insight on the job which speaks volumes. Thank you.
My department (in GA) uses run codes for various types of police actions, either dispatched or self-initiated, which are used in conjunction with 10 codes. Some of our 10 codes differ from Officer 401's. For example, 10-43 is an officer requesting a tow truck and 10-44 is an officer requesting EMS.
Hey officer401~ First of all I want to thank you for your service - both military and police service. Secondly I want to thank you for these videos. My wife turned me on to your content and so far I love it. It's awesome that you're sharing your experience and knowledge with the world in such a down to earth way. Keep up the good work~
Quick question... if you lived in a state that allowed more gun rights to citizens to be able to enjoy the freedom of the Second Amendment unlike the communist state of New York and New Jersey would you still be a state trooper???? I left that area for one of those reasons...
I would like to start off by saying thank you for your service, you are a probably the chillest cop I’ve ever seen been watching you for about 2 months now, makes me kinda live out my dream of being a cop but I guess it wasn’t meant to be I got brain damage/ shaking baby syndrome and have seizures so I watch stuff like you post to kinda live through you. Thank you for everything you do Officer 401
I've been watching you since "Drone Shit" (the video isn't called that, it's a part of the thumbnail), I'm still loving your content like I used to do two years ago, keep it up, officer!
Really needed this, getting ready to go through BLET and then Trooper Academy, I've got some of the codes memorized but I'm trying to get at least half of them, I'm in North Carolina but I'm listening to this and looking at the local code listing and making notes of what's different, it sounds counter intuitive but it helps me remember better because i have to actively listen and cross reference quickly and write our code beside your code in blue
Awesome video and great information!! I've written up an Oregon translation (We're on a modified 12-Code; disclaimer, not LE but I do listen to the scanner often) We do not have a code for 10-0; our officers use plain english generally for known subjects or unsafe situations; when communicating with Fire and EMS, they say "Scene not secure" 10-1 translates to 12-12 (though again, Plain English prevails here and what you hear is typically 'Too much static, can you .... 10-9 Translates to 12-5 or, Repeat your traffic. Again, 10-2 doesn't have a direct translation. 10-3 translates for us as 12-33; used in Pursuit and manhunt situations, mainly. Sometimes other high-tension situations as well such as potential felony stops. 12-34 clears a 12-33 condition. Oregon Does not use a radio code for acknowledgement; instead 'Affirm' or 'Copy' are used. 10-6 doesn't have a direct translation, typically a unit will indicate location and business ("Can you show me at X Location" is a typical update, though a possible equivilent on paper would be 12-2 or 'Out of Service' Our 10-7 is TECHNICALLY 12-88, but in the past 6 years of listening, I have yet to hear it. If a unit DOES broadcast shift-end, it's usually plain English. That, or it just doesn't get to our main Repeater on 'Law 1' which is where MOST of our Law Enforcement radio traffic goes in Douglas County (Which I'll clarify, we are NOT on a digital system; we still use Analog radios, the alternate is 'Law 2') 10-8 translates indirectly as 12-1 or Any 'Disposition Code' from Code 1 to 5; where these are also usually plain English as well 10-10 indirectly translates as 12-29 or, Disturbance. Again, Plain English is more common. 10-11 has no translation. 10-12 translates as 12-40; though the dispatchers rarely use the 12-code and opt for plain english typically. 10-13 has no translation 10-14 could be a 12-28, though once again, is rarely used in code. Same can be said of suspicious vehicles. 10-15 is mixed. Could be seen as a 12-45, or 'Burglar Alarm', though I have only heard "Burg in Progress" or "Break-in" over the air. 10-16 translates indirectly as, again, 12-29, but we just hear 'Domestic' over the air more often than not. 10-17 has no translation, actually, at least not on my ref sheet. Typically it ends up being plain english. 10-18 is a gray area. Again, there's no DIRECT translation, but could be taken as a 12-98 or 12-99, which are Officer Needs Help, Non-Emergency and Emergency, respectively. have yet to hear this one. YOUR 10-19 to us is 12-3 or "Return to Office", though again that doesn't make the airwaves much. Typically we hear 12-4 or 'Call by Phone', which can pertain to Station, another officer, or a subject on either end of the fence. 10-20 I only know from CB Jargon, but is NOT used by our Police forces and no 12-code translation is listed. 10-21, like I said is 12-4 to us. 10-22 translates to 12-43. 10-23 has no translation; Plain english is used for this that I've ever heard. 10-24 can, again be taken as Any 'Disposition Code' from Code 1 to 5; where these are also usually plain English. I HAVE heard Code 4 more often than not, which is, according to this ref, 'Lodged in Jail' but I have come to take it as 'Clear and Available', more or less. 10-25 again, no translation. But I have heard them arrange meet ups on different channels; odds are they call each other by phone for most of these meet ups. 10-27 translates as 12-10 10-28 translates as BOTH 12-7 AND 12-8, which are Registration Check and Registration and Legal Owner check, respectively. 10-29 translates as 12-20 (Check Warrant/Stolen Status) *** I'll most commonly hear 'Can I get a 10 and 20 by DOB (Date of Birth) or by Number (DL number) with a few by Memory (Frequent Flyers, eh?) out of Oregon and/or whatever other state a unit may need (often Washington, California) 10-30 translates as a 12-50, Buuuuut like you, rarely ever used. 10-31 and 10-32 has no translation, though I know it happens often because plain english is the Go-To for us. 10-35 is again referenced with plain english and has no translation. See my translation from 10-6 10-36 doesn't exist. ---FACTUALLY SPEAKING, Most transmissions in Oregon will automatically include the time. Usually at the end of an officer's traffic, Dispatch keys up with the time in 24-hour format as a bookmark. This is usually heard during traffic stops and in emergency situations; in periods of radio silence AND at the top of every hour, the station dispatchers follow through with the hourly station identification as required by the FCC. 10-37; see translation of 10-14. I report these often being that I work in a business that is closed for the night and any car that is not approved for parking OR just seems out of place, I will report personally. 10-38 is actually NOT used in the form of code; this is actually introduced in the format of UNIT ID to STATION ID or STATION ID from UNIT ID, and vice versa. (EG, using a neighboring city on the same channel for example: 30 from Roseburg 12 (where 30 is the Station ID for the Dispatch center that runs for several small Towns within the county, PLUS the County Sheriff) , and 30 will reply with '12-41' or "Go Ahead". 10-39 doesn't translate; Lots of possible situations for that one. 10-40 has no direct translation, BUT is effectively the same as 12-24 - Wanted. There are two dispositions for that: 12-24A is on a Felony, 12-24B is on a Misdemeanor. Though typically, that goes to Plain English; which is followed up by either there's no warrant or "Warrant out of Such and such department on such and such charge" which can be followed up with the officer asking to Confirm the warrant out of that department. IF the warrant is still not served we will hear "warrant confirmed". We all know what happens next. 10-41 is non-directly translated to 12-1 (In Service) 10-42 may either be 12-2 (Out of Service) OR 12-88, which is the actual direct translation. Neither of which are usually heard OTA by our main repeater. 10-43 has no direct translation, usually again in plain english. The only related 12-Code references are 12-49 and 12-49A which are 'Death Investigation' and "Possible Homocide" respectively. 10-44 resorts to Plain English, again no translation. 10-46 is indirectly translatable as 12-57 (Disabled Motorist) But has no wide-definition. 10-49 has no translation, your BOLO is our ATL, or Attempt to Locate. 10-94 is actually 12-30, but we just call it by plain english usually. 10-50 I know from older police videos; A lot of jurisdictions just go with MVA. For us it translates as 12-16, Again a rare use code. Dispositions there can be A or B, PLUS 10-17. A=Fatal, B=Injury, No ambulance requested and 12-17, MVA, Ambulance Dispatched. MOST OFTEN we hear MVA unknown injury or injury. Usually if unknown, they'll send an ambulance anyway unless those involved don't want one. (My rule of thumb: If the car cannot be driven away (has to be towed) or the combined impact speed is over 40mph, I'll typically take an ambulance trip if nobodys available to take me via Private Vehicle.) Cases: Head-On collision with intoxicated driver: Combined speed of 45, ambulance trip. Rear end impact from a stop by a minivan doing 55; private vehicle to hospital. I actually take this rule from NASCAR, which states, if the vehicle strikes an object and cannot continue, the driver is REQUIRED a trip to the infield care center. Even if the impact is with the wall and is so gentle it merely chips the body work, this was actually proven at Eldora in the Trucks a few years back when a driver did exactly that and had no reverse, so he could not back the truck up and continue.
Police codes are different throughout the nation, and that’s why FEMA says not to use them. They hinder interopobility. So don’t use them around mutual aid
Real Police Talk they did do that for a while, but they changed that when something happened about or close to a high ranking public official and everyone with scanners knew their business. So it was stated later that departments can go back to using codes, but when you have multiple agencies involved using mutual aid, to revert back to plain talk
Real Police Talk The ICS/NIMS training strongly RECOMMENDS plain language. Without making my response exceedingly long... as radio traffic always in on our fire channel (who use plain language exclusively), 10-codes when used properly can shorten radio traffic. In the real world, numerous things are going on at the same time. In a ICS/NIMS incident, there is only one thing going on. A mass response incident.
I spent 1yr doing security "school" and we learned 10 codes. We learned how to write reports, self defense, even riot training etc. Retired Marine Corps/Police officer conducted the schooling.
Yes, Officer401, on the money. You've no idea, how much I needed this video. Just suffered a severe surfing injury, bed rest is lame, saw your upload & lifted my spirits. If it's too personal, I understand but I'd like to know, what you were like in highschool? You've got that little wild gleam in your eye. Not a bad thing, just curious, Lol. Thanks, stay safe, & God bless you & yours!
SweetMarie honeybee I'm betting on the whole SweetMarie kinda thing because as a SweetMarie myself I wanna the answer to your personal question as well. He has a special kinda thing about him doesn't he...😉 GOOD QUESTION. 👍👏 Now as I wait for his answer, I need to turn my 👂UP & grab some popcorn.
I hope this wasn't taken out of context, doesn't sound like it. My fiancé & I were watching & had this little discussion. Funny, you mention Sweet Marie, was a nickname in HS but we'd beg to differ. We'd like to hear a story or 2 also. This line of work is stressful. Yes, grab the popcorn, Lol. ;)
I totally feel yah on the 10-30 with supervisors liking to hear themselves talk. I work for the railroad and we have to communicate with the railroad dispatcher and there are railroad officials out there that love to hear themselves talk and talk and talk.
These are pretty much the same as we use here in Colorado. Except a traffic stop is 10-75 and wanted person is 10-99.I dispatched for over 10 years. I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you Ofc. 401! That is very helpful. If I am near an officer using these codes while on the radio about a case I'm involved in, I can clarify understanding the context.
Hey, I really love how you take topics and expound on them and help people understand the finer points. With that in mind, would you think about doing a video about the differences between "normal" charges and the same charges with the word "aggravated" added on the front?
In Chicago, Chicago PD uses mostly verbal instead of 10 codes. They use Disposition codes going from 1-19, A-Z. Only codes they use are 10-4 and 10-1 which is called when an Officer needs Immediate Assistance and the Call is Transmitted Citywide and Surrounding Districts would stand by in case the District the 10-1 was called in needs more cars
One thing, wont it be easier to simply say "burglary in progres" than "10-15 in progres"? Or just say "understod" except "10'-4"? New officers would have much less fun with the code book :)
My mom dealt with 9-18 mental ill back in the early 90s. I was 5 in 92. They had a team that dealt with it. She would go into there cells n check but nothing more. Shes 70 n i ask her about the past. I learn something new. Wats great was after she did her shift she would come home. She didn't say nothin negative or anything bout it. She had twins to take care of. Family Have A Blessed Day
I work for the GDC( Georgia department of corrections) an i never truly learned them till i started there. And two things come of using 10-codes at work 1-Having a full conversation in almost all code 2-you sometimes find yourself talking to family and friends in 10-code
Some people have police scanners if the department has not gone digital. The codes really keep the public confused what we are talking about. I can literally have a converstaion with my wife using ten codes (she was a dispatcher) and everyone would be confused. I disliked this video BTW
When your arresting somebody you wouldn't want to say to another officer "were arresting this guy" More likely say " were gonna 10-15" suspect" (I know thats not the right code for this video its just and example)
In Coffee County, Alabama, our most common: 10-8 Back in Service 10-9 Repeat Traffic 10-11 Remain in Service 10-21 Call by phone 10-23 Arriving on Scene 10-25 Disregard 10-27 Drivers License 10-28 Tag on Vehicle 10-29 Warrants 10-39 traffic stop 10-41 Beginning Duty 10-42 Ending of Duty 10-49 traffic light out 10-50 Wreck In Enterprise, AL Signal 38 - medical call
It might come out as stupid, but I'm running a Star Wars 5e campaign for my players where this goody two-shoes pilot companion is a huge law respecter and uses 10 codes while he speaks through the radio. The only one I knew was 10-4, from Wasteland 2, and it got me interested in 10 codes. I'm currently watching this so I can add more 10 codes to his vocabulary!
For NYPD 10-13 is an emergency officer assist.And location is a 10-84, robbery burglary, larceny and assault are 10-20,21,22,&24 for the past and the same numbers but in the 30's if it's occurring in the present, a 10-33 is a bomb threat, a 10-92 means an arrest, a 10-66 is a unusual incident like a crash or derailment and we don't use signals. We have 10 codes for almost every number from 1-100 - NYPD explorer 75 pct
In New Hampshire, 10-5 means affirmative instead of 10-4, which means repeat transmission. A couple NH 10 Codes I can remember off the top of my head 10-3: go ahead with transmission 10-4: Repeat transmission 10-5: Acknowledged 10-9: Phone call 10-11: Go to (location) 10-33: Officer in trouble, send help 10-34: Officer down
Man it’s crazy how different things are, for us one in custody is 10-15, 10-35 is a group of things 35 Mary is a misdemeanor warrant, 35 Frank is a felony warrant, 35 Willie is a CCW, 35 George is a gun, not used much any more, and 35 Charlie is a caution; 10-52 is status checks and we have to do them every 10 min and dispatch is the one that checks on us
As a dispatcher in Texas a lot of our ten codes are the same surprisingly. The main thing that's different is we use a lot more plain speak and we only use about 10 of our codes often. Main reason for this is at least here in Texas we work with a lot of different agencies even some federal ones. Texas DPS, Texas Rangers, Game Wardens, Park Rangers(Mostly Sergeants),Marshals etc. In my department we even share a line with a volunteer fire department so over all using mostly plain speak makes things a lot easier.
I worked for a company in the 80s that used two way radios. 10-100 meant we were taking a dump. We also used a pesticide with an unpronounceable name, so we just called it the white powder. One day our boss told us to stop saying, "white powder" on the radio because we shared a frequency with the HUD police. We just started calling it the dry pesticide.
You are absolutely right George's version of the 10 codes is totally different then what we use here in California for the most part and even that there's multiple different variations of it here but good info
Alaska AST we used 10-19 as respond to. Dispatch would say 1D1 or whatever your identifier is based on your role and if your in detachments A B C D E or T for traffic units 10-19 to 100 Main Street for a 10-56(possible drunk pedestrian or drunk on foot) 10-36 was a routine traffic stop nothing close to a time check . 10-99 was a wanted or warrant.
Once during a sudden ice storm 5/6 officers on my shift slid off road. I hit a pole, others in ditches. They asked me for weeks every shift 10-13....lol
Great job. I agree the codes are different in different places. For example you referenced 10-43 as murder or to kill. At the department I volunteer for in Texas 10-43 is a request for information or history (Dispatch, check 10-43 on subject for previous DUI). And even departments right next door have a slightly different list. Gets fun when you officers from multiple agencies patched together - then plain English tends to rule.
Nice thing where I live our police/sheriffs deputies speak mostly in plain talk. There are a few codes (only 11), everything else is all plain English. Makes listening to them a lot easier.
In Missouri the 10-50 is followed up by either J-1, J-2, J-3, and J-4. J-1 being vehicle accident no injuries, up to J-4 which is Fatality. The most commonly used is typically 10-50 J-2 "motore vehicle accident minor injuries"
Ha, this is awesome. Im not LEO but I do service calls and deal with dispatchers on a regular basis. Now, some of these 10 codes I can see throwing 'em off in the office. All boggled asking each other and maybe even Googling. Great stuff. 😁👍🇺🇸
Here in Japan the codes are nationalized. My favorite is Code "nana ichi ichi" (711), it means restroom break because usually we stop at a convenience store.
Officer: *sftph* "he just 10-50ed in the the mac Donald's drive through, is deadly force permitted?" *sftph* Supervisor: *sftph* "denied, just get me a Big Mac with Fanta for the drink please" *sftph*
I was a Sheriff's detention officer for a year before I switched to Fire Dept, and 10-7 for us (north TX) was lunch, I would be "10-7 ODR" (Officer's Dining Room)
What are the odds of me studying 10 codes when this video comes out? LOL
Have you ever tried the Police Scanner App? It can stream the radio traffic from any jurisdiction in the US, and it lists the 10 or signal codes for each one.
cellogirl11RW I actually have a scanner, and I understand most codes, its just some of the rare ones.
@Generic Username How would I know if a list of 10 codes was wrong? The ones for my local EMS seem to be right in context to me.
Same here!
That is cool
I think maybe 1/2 of those were the same codes we use in Utah. Yep, about half. We're all supposed to be going plain speech, but 10 codes are beautifully concise. Same → 0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,13,18,20,21,22,23,25,27,28,29,41,42,46,50
“I gotta go 10-100.” “Better than 10-200.”
Code brown and code yellow
@Justin Hughes: correct that to be "Better than 10-300." And you've got a much better joke.

He or she hasn't even told us what the feature is yet. You can't just go around handing out feel good vibes to developers without proper due diligence.
Lol, working on a system for officers to communicate without having to use the radio (if there is more important traffic). Having a shorthand for the 10 codes could make life easier. And since each agency may have different 10 codes, I could make them agency specific.

Spam 10-64 🤯
Love the videos man. Watch your six!
I have a police scanner but my town just changed theirs so I can’t eavesdrop anymore now lmaoooo
Changed their what?
Depends on how they changed. If they went to using encryption, yup you are out of luck (as mine did). If they just changed radio systems, then by buying a newer (more expensive) scanner you should be able to listen. The area departments moved to a new system and I was ready to upgrade my scanners when they decided to add encryption. So I did not send the money on the upgrade.
our county uses a trunking system witch uses several different bands with the radio trafic alternating between them. you can hear this happening if you tune into one of their frequencies and you get like 2 or 3 words then it cuts out and its silent. to fix this you need to know all of your departments frequencies and have a scanner that has a trunking system. the downside is unless your really savy with radios and scanners you will have to take it to someone who can set up the trunking system.
When I moved out here in 1996 the county ran an 800MHz trunked system. I had a great setup to listen to that system. Then after 9/11 there was a more regional 900MHz trunked system setup and pretty much everyone moved to it. I was just going to spend some $$ to upgrade my scanners when they started adding encryption. Not everything is encrypted, but the main agencies I would want to listen to are.
In the military that's call frequency hop. It is next to impossible to track unless you sinked your radio at the exact moment they did when installing the frequency codes in their radio. Or sto ing them

I worked in dispatch, 10 27 Drivers License 10 28 Vehicle Registration 10 29 Warrants 10 33 Emergency was never used while it was working for the sheriff's office..I have utmost respect for law enforcement!!! I was in Salt Lake City Ut
"10 codes"
My brain: thinks of 10 codes (literally 10 codes)
10-1
Thanks that was a walk down memory lane. I’m a old shift supervisor in dispatch with Bartow county retired. Love the channel brother keep it going.
I heard Mike the Cop likes when people use 10 codes on social media 🙃
Lol
10-4
10-4
10-4... No wants no warrants, plate comes back to an all black dodge charger RO is Jeffery Hereson
10-4 - ah, shit, thought I was creative
Great video 401! A lot of departments engage in community outreach to build trust but I'd have to say that what you do surpasses many of those efforts. You're giving the public insight on the job which speaks volumes. Thank you.
are you sure 10 42 isn't the answer to life the universe and everything?
My department (in GA) uses run codes for various types of police actions, either dispatched or self-initiated, which are used in conjunction with 10 codes. Some of our 10 codes differ from Officer 401's. For example, 10-43 is an officer requesting a tow truck and 10-44 is an officer requesting EMS.
Amazing video man!! I am really getting inspired to become a cop because of your videos! 😁😂
Hey officer401~
First of all I want to thank you for your service - both military and police service.
Secondly I want to thank you for these videos. My wife turned me on to your content and so far I love it. It's awesome that you're sharing your experience and knowledge with the world in such a down to earth way.
Keep up the good work~
Actually studied ALL the codes by myself for a game and actually learned to properly use the radio
You want a cookie? 😂
When I was learning my ten codes I always sang
10-46 is a motorist assist! Stuck with me so far
401 I'm a state trooper In upstate ny and we all love your vids keep them coming thinblueline for life man watch your six. Need backup,hit me up
Quick question... if you lived in a state that allowed more gun rights to citizens to be able to enjoy the freedom of the Second Amendment unlike the communist state of New York and New Jersey would you still be a state trooper????
I left that area for one of those reasons...
I would like to start off by saying thank you for your service, you are a probably the chillest cop I’ve ever seen been watching you for about 2 months now, makes me kinda live out my dream of being a cop but I guess it wasn’t meant to be I got brain damage/ shaking baby syndrome and have seizures so I watch stuff like you post to kinda live through you. Thank you for everything you do Officer 401
Cleveland Ohio is plain language, and instead of "10-4", it's "OK for that".
You guys are wierd.
Creme. I understand that, but 10-4 is quicker and rolls off the tongue than OK for that and it's universal.
Maccabee Luke 22:36 10 codes aren;t universal anymore so they really only work within the agency. It's a mix here, some 10 some plain.
Again, I'm speaking strictly about 10-4 vs OK for that. 10-4 is universal and everybkdy knows what it means.
LVMPD says Acknowledged, but they end up saying. No one is gonna fucking care as long as the message is received, as quick and clear as possibele.
I've been watching you since "Drone Shit" (the video isn't called that, it's a part of the thumbnail), I'm still loving your content like I used to do two years ago, keep it up, officer!
"Dispatch I'll be 10-6 for the next 12 hours, thanks."
Really needed this, getting ready to go through BLET and then Trooper Academy, I've got some of the codes memorized but I'm trying to get at least half of them, I'm in North Carolina but I'm listening to this and looking at the local code listing and making notes of what's different, it sounds counter intuitive but it helps me remember better because i have to actively listen and cross reference quickly and write our code beside your code in blue
MikeTheCop disliked this video 😂😂😂
@Generic Username what ever 🙃
Awesome video and great information!! I've written up an Oregon translation (We're on a modified 12-Code; disclaimer, not LE but I do listen to the scanner often)
We do not have a code for 10-0; our officers use plain english generally for known subjects or unsafe situations; when communicating with Fire and EMS, they say "Scene not secure"
10-1 translates to 12-12 (though again, Plain English prevails here and what you hear is typically 'Too much static, can you ....
10-9 Translates to 12-5 or, Repeat your traffic.
Again, 10-2 doesn't have a direct translation.
10-3 translates for us as 12-33; used in Pursuit and manhunt situations, mainly. Sometimes other high-tension situations as well such as potential felony stops. 12-34 clears a 12-33 condition.
Oregon Does not use a radio code for acknowledgement; instead 'Affirm' or 'Copy' are used.
10-6 doesn't have a direct translation, typically a unit will indicate location and business ("Can you show me at X Location" is a typical update, though a possible equivilent on paper would be 12-2 or 'Out of Service'
Our 10-7 is TECHNICALLY 12-88, but in the past 6 years of listening, I have yet to hear it. If a unit DOES broadcast shift-end, it's usually plain English. That, or it just doesn't get to our main Repeater on 'Law 1' which is where MOST of our Law Enforcement radio traffic goes in Douglas County (Which I'll clarify, we are NOT on a digital system; we still use Analog radios, the alternate is 'Law 2')
10-8 translates indirectly as 12-1 or Any 'Disposition Code' from Code 1 to 5; where these are also usually plain English as well
10-10 indirectly translates as 12-29 or, Disturbance. Again, Plain English is more common.
10-11 has no translation.
10-12 translates as 12-40; though the dispatchers rarely use the 12-code and opt for plain english typically.
10-13 has no translation
10-14 could be a 12-28, though once again, is rarely used in code. Same can be said of suspicious vehicles.
10-15 is mixed. Could be seen as a 12-45, or 'Burglar Alarm', though I have only heard "Burg in Progress" or "Break-in" over the air.
10-16 translates indirectly as, again, 12-29, but we just hear 'Domestic' over the air more often than not.
10-17 has no translation, actually, at least not on my ref sheet. Typically it ends up being plain english.
10-18 is a gray area. Again, there's no DIRECT translation, but could be taken as a 12-98 or 12-99, which are Officer Needs Help, Non-Emergency and Emergency, respectively. have yet to hear this one.
YOUR 10-19 to us is 12-3 or "Return to Office", though again that doesn't make the airwaves much. Typically we hear 12-4 or 'Call by Phone', which can pertain to Station, another officer, or a subject on either end of the fence.
10-20 I only know from CB Jargon, but is NOT used by our Police forces and no 12-code translation is listed.
10-21, like I said is 12-4 to us.
10-22 translates to 12-43.
10-23 has no translation; Plain english is used for this that I've ever heard.
10-24 can, again be taken as Any 'Disposition Code' from Code 1 to 5; where these are also usually plain English. I HAVE heard Code 4 more often than not, which is, according to this ref, 'Lodged in Jail' but I have come to take it as 'Clear and Available', more or less.
10-25 again, no translation. But I have heard them arrange meet ups on different channels; odds are they call each other by phone for most of these meet ups.
10-27 translates as 12-10
10-28 translates as BOTH 12-7 AND 12-8, which are Registration Check and Registration and Legal Owner check, respectively.
10-29 translates as 12-20 (Check Warrant/Stolen Status) *** I'll most commonly hear 'Can I get a 10 and 20 by DOB (Date of Birth) or by Number (DL number) with a few by Memory (Frequent Flyers, eh?) out of Oregon and/or whatever other state a unit may need (often Washington, California)
10-30 translates as a 12-50, Buuuuut like you, rarely ever used.
10-31 and 10-32 has no translation, though I know it happens often because plain english is the Go-To for us.
10-35 is again referenced with plain english and has no translation. See my translation from 10-6
10-36 doesn't exist. ---FACTUALLY SPEAKING, Most transmissions in Oregon will automatically include the time. Usually at the end of an officer's traffic, Dispatch keys up with the time in 24-hour format as a bookmark. This is usually heard during traffic stops and in emergency situations; in periods of radio silence AND at the top of every hour, the station dispatchers follow through with the hourly station identification as required by the FCC.
10-37; see translation of 10-14. I report these often being that I work in a business that is closed for the night and any car that is not approved for parking OR just seems out of place, I will report personally.
10-38 is actually NOT used in the form of code; this is actually introduced in the format of UNIT ID to STATION ID or STATION ID from UNIT ID, and vice versa. (EG, using a neighboring city on the same channel for example: 30 from Roseburg 12 (where 30 is the Station ID for the Dispatch center that runs for several small Towns within the county, PLUS the County Sheriff) , and 30 will reply with '12-41' or "Go Ahead".
10-39 doesn't translate; Lots of possible situations for that one.
10-40 has no direct translation, BUT is effectively the same as 12-24 - Wanted. There are two dispositions for that: 12-24A is on a Felony, 12-24B is on a Misdemeanor. Though typically, that goes to Plain English; which is followed up by either there's no warrant or "Warrant out of Such and such department on such and such charge" which can be followed up with the officer asking to Confirm the warrant out of that department. IF the warrant is still not served we will hear "warrant confirmed". We all know what happens next.
10-41 is non-directly translated to 12-1 (In Service)
10-42 may either be 12-2 (Out of Service) OR 12-88, which is the actual direct translation. Neither of which are usually heard OTA by our main repeater.
10-43 has no direct translation, usually again in plain english. The only related 12-Code references are 12-49 and 12-49A which are 'Death Investigation' and "Possible Homocide" respectively.
10-44 resorts to Plain English, again no translation.
10-46 is indirectly translatable as 12-57 (Disabled Motorist) But has no wide-definition.
10-49 has no translation, your BOLO is our ATL, or Attempt to Locate.
10-94 is actually 12-30, but we just call it by plain english usually.
10-50 I know from older police videos; A lot of jurisdictions just go with MVA. For us it translates as 12-16, Again a rare use code. Dispositions there can be A or B, PLUS 10-17.
A=Fatal, B=Injury, No ambulance requested and 12-17, MVA, Ambulance Dispatched. MOST OFTEN we hear MVA unknown injury or injury. Usually if unknown, they'll send an ambulance anyway unless those involved don't want one. (My rule of thumb: If the car cannot be driven away (has to be towed) or the combined impact speed is over 40mph, I'll typically take an ambulance trip if nobodys available to take me via Private Vehicle.) Cases: Head-On collision with intoxicated driver: Combined speed of 45, ambulance trip. Rear end impact from a stop by a minivan doing 55; private vehicle to hospital. I actually take this rule from NASCAR, which states, if the vehicle strikes an object and cannot continue, the driver is REQUIRED a trip to the infield care center. Even if the impact is with the wall and is so gentle it merely chips the body work, this was actually proven at Eldora in the Trucks a few years back when a driver did exactly that and had no reverse, so he could not back the truck up and continue.
Police codes are different throughout the nation, and that’s why FEMA says not to use them. They hinder interopobility. So don’t use them around mutual aid
Real Police Talk they did do that for a while, but they changed that when something happened about or close to a high ranking public official and everyone with scanners knew their business. So it was stated later that departments can go back to using codes, but when you have multiple agencies involved using mutual aid, to revert back to plain talk
Funny thing with that is through FEMA they use completely different terms, acronyms, and codes then anyone I've had any dealings with
LVMPD: "Control, 3V55, copy 467"
NHP: "Wha?"
Real Police Talk The ICS/NIMS training strongly RECOMMENDS plain language. Without making my response exceedingly long... as radio traffic always in on our fire channel (who use plain language exclusively), 10-codes when used properly can shorten radio traffic. In the real world, numerous things are going on at the same time. In a ICS/NIMS incident, there is only one thing going on. A mass response incident.
Yep, that's what's taught in NIMS, with mutual aid, you're to use plain language
I spent 1yr doing security "school" and we learned 10 codes. We learned how to write reports, self defense, even riot training etc. Retired Marine Corps/Police officer conducted the schooling.
I've been expecting you! 👮♂️💪🇬🇧
I got the discord notification before the RUclips one lol! Another great video! Can't wait for part two!!
Have a good weekend everyone
Stay safe out there! Its gonna be a busy weekend and coming week for everyone along and near the east coast.
Yes, Officer401, on the money. You've no idea, how much I needed this video. Just suffered a severe surfing injury, bed rest is lame, saw your upload & lifted my spirits. If it's too personal, I understand but I'd like to know, what you were like in highschool? You've got that little wild gleam in your eye. Not a bad thing, just curious, Lol. Thanks, stay safe, & God bless you & yours!
SweetMarie honeybee I'm betting on the whole SweetMarie kinda thing because as a SweetMarie myself I wanna the answer to your personal question as well. He has a special kinda thing about him doesn't he...😉
GOOD QUESTION. 👍👏
Now as I wait for his answer, I need to turn my 👂UP & grab some popcorn.
I hope this wasn't taken out of context, doesn't sound like it. My fiancé & I were watching & had this little discussion. Funny, you mention Sweet Marie, was a nickname in HS but we'd beg to differ. We'd like to hear a story or 2 also. This line of work is stressful. Yes, grab the popcorn, Lol. ;)
I totally feel yah on the 10-30 with supervisors liking to hear themselves talk. I work for the railroad and we have to communicate with the railroad dispatcher and there are railroad officials out there that love to hear themselves talk and talk and talk.
Hey officer401, what is a great way to show support to my local police department?
Don't shoot them.
petrol bomb it.
These are pretty much the same as we use here in Colorado. Except a traffic stop is 10-75 and wanted person is 10-99.I dispatched for over 10 years. I really enjoy your videos.
It’s funny, there is a very large GTAV RP community, in which 10-codes are quite different! Funny.
Well yeah, 10 codes aren't consistent across departments as he clearly said.
Acco 4321
You talking about “DOJ” and “ocrp” and all of those?
Great video thank you for sharing. I respect the fact that you still put out videos even with the hectic schedule keep it up brother
My department stopped using 10 codes after 9/11
George Wood highley douht you work for a department when you got roblox as a profile picture
@@graypie69 fr
Thank you Ofc. 401! That is very helpful. If I am near an officer using these codes while on the radio about a case I'm involved in, I can clarify understanding the context.
How to know if someone is a police explorer.
Tell em to do something and they reply with 10-4
Nah. Firefighter, correctional officers, ems and other emergency services use it to
ile that hey
@Generic Username Why, "Ugh, explorers" ? Better than CAP's lmfao.
Thanks for posting 401 and stay safe out there
Why does he have that creepy smile in all hos thumbnails
Creepers gonna creep
LOL constipated
Like you..ohhhhhhh you got roasted
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful work, Officer 401👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌟🌟🌟
Hands Up if you are a cop in GTA V/FiveM
ayooo

Love your channel bro thank you for your service!
What up brother. Love Love your unique perspective and your unique content. Waiting for our collaboration one day
Tier Talk Correctionsone RUclips Channel
A collaboration with you 2 would be wonderful
josh kosek it would be awesome
Love all the information I get out of your videos and I love you Officer 401. I wish I could shake your hand. Much love to everyone in blue
This is helping me rp in gta lmao.
Hey, I really love how you take topics and expound on them and help people understand the finer points. With that in mind, would you think about doing a video about the differences between "normal" charges and the same charges with the word "aggravated" added on the front?
10-69, people doing, uhm... favors.
In Chicago, Chicago PD uses mostly verbal instead of 10 codes. They use Disposition codes going from 1-19, A-Z. Only codes they use are 10-4 and 10-1 which is called when an Officer needs Immediate Assistance and the Call is Transmitted Citywide and Surrounding Districts would stand by in case the District the 10-1 was called in needs more cars
One thing, wont it be easier to simply say "burglary in progres" than "10-15 in progres"? Or just say "understod" except "10'-4"? New officers would have much less fun with the code book :)
My mom dealt with 9-18 mental ill back in the early 90s. I was 5 in 92. They had a team that dealt with it. She would go into there cells n check but nothing more. Shes 70 n i ask her about the past. I learn something new. Wats great was after she did her shift she would come home. She didn't say nothin negative or anything bout it. She had twins to take care of. Family
Have A Blessed Day
10-4
I work for the GDC( Georgia department of corrections) an i never truly learned them till i started there. And two things come of using 10-codes at work
1-Having a full conversation in almost all code
2-you sometimes find yourself talking to family and friends in 10-code
Why not just use words? Serious question seems more simple than memorizing codes lol
Some agencies used what's called plain speak. Just different ways of doing things. After a week or maybe 2 of using it daily it just becomes normal
Homeland Security recommends plain talk beacuse 10 codes cause interoperability issued. Some departments dont care
Some people have police scanners if the department has not gone digital. The codes really keep the public confused what we are talking about. I can literally have a converstaion with my wife using ten codes (she was a dispatcher) and everyone would be confused. I disliked this video BTW
It's probably so they can get shit said faster but I'm not a cop so
When your arresting somebody you wouldn't want to say to another officer "were arresting this guy" More likely say " were gonna 10-15" suspect" (I know thats not the right code for this video its just and example)
It's so weird! You always somehow discuss things I'm covering in my classes at the moment. Anyway, great video as always! 💙

@Rulya Ard Mhacha Farley you realise that a view is counted a few seconds after watching right?
In Coffee County, Alabama, our most common:
10-8 Back in Service
10-9 Repeat Traffic
10-11 Remain in Service
10-21 Call by phone
10-23 Arriving on Scene
10-25 Disregard
10-27 Drivers License
10-28 Tag on Vehicle
10-29 Warrants
10-39 traffic stop
10-41 Beginning Duty
10-42 Ending of Duty
10-49 traffic light out
10-50 Wreck
In Enterprise, AL
Signal 38 - medical call
I tought 10-32 meant back up universale wise.
10-99
A 10-32 at my agency was an intoxilyzer operator. When you made a DUI arrest you said you were "10-15 times 1 requesting a 10-32 respond to CJ "
In Quebec, it is 10-14
Pilot Juan Carlos, That's what you get during tax season if you're an independent contractor. 😜
Except 10-4, NOTHING is universal with 10 codes.
It might come out as stupid, but I'm running a Star Wars 5e campaign for my players where this goody two-shoes pilot companion is a huge law respecter and uses 10 codes while he speaks through the radio. The only one I knew was 10-4, from Wasteland 2, and it got me interested in 10 codes.
I'm currently watching this so I can add more 10 codes to his vocabulary!
For NYPD 10-13 is an emergency officer assist.And location is a 10-84, robbery burglary, larceny and assault are 10-20,21,22,&24 for the past and the same numbers but in the 30's if it's occurring in the present, a 10-33 is a bomb threat, a 10-92 means an arrest, a 10-66 is a unusual incident like a crash or derailment and we don't use signals. We have 10 codes for almost every number from 1-100
- NYPD explorer 75 pct
10-13 and the whole precinct swarms lol
I'm surprised that 10-20 isn't location. That's almost universal, and where the common "what's your 20" phrase came from. Cool insight!
In New Hampshire, 10-5 means affirmative instead of 10-4, which means repeat transmission.
A couple NH 10 Codes I can remember off the top of my head
10-3: go ahead with transmission
10-4: Repeat transmission
10-5: Acknowledged
10-9: Phone call
10-11: Go to (location)
10-33: Officer in trouble, send help
10-34: Officer down
First
Man it’s crazy how different things are, for us one in custody is 10-15, 10-35 is a group of things 35 Mary is a misdemeanor warrant, 35 Frank is a felony warrant, 35 Willie is a CCW, 35 George is a gun, not used much any more, and 35 Charlie is a caution; 10-52 is status checks and we have to do them every 10 min and dispatch is the one that checks on us
Yet another amazing video! Keep it up!
3:09 10-15 is also commonly used for “ Have prisoner in custody” across the US.
God this channel gets me so hyped! 🤘
Love your videos Officer401!
Hey 401 "you gotta time" *LOOKS AT WATCH* HAHAHA CLASSIC
As a dispatcher in Texas a lot of our ten codes are the same surprisingly. The main thing that's different is we use a lot more plain speak and we only use about 10 of our codes often. Main reason for this is at least here in Texas we work with a lot of different agencies even some federal ones. Texas DPS, Texas Rangers, Game Wardens, Park Rangers(Mostly Sergeants),Marshals etc. In my department we even share a line with a volunteer fire department so over all using mostly plain speak makes things a lot easier.
I worked for a company in the 80s that used two way radios. 10-100 meant we were taking a dump.
We also used a pesticide with an unpronounceable name, so we just called it the white powder. One day our boss told us to stop saying, "white powder" on the radio because we shared a frequency with the HUD police. We just started calling it the dry pesticide.
You are absolutely right George's version of the 10 codes is totally different then what we use here in California for the most part and even that there's multiple different variations of it here but good info
Your videos are awesome! Always so much useful information!
Thank you so much I’m in middle school and I really wanted to learn radio and penal audio/ codes. This helped me so much.
I listen to our local police radio online so these are helpful in understanding
The video I’ve been waiting for ever since I became a subscriber to your channel
Was literally at the gym in the middle of a deadlift set when I got the noti. Definitley watched right then and there.
Alaska AST we used 10-19 as respond to. Dispatch would say 1D1 or whatever your identifier is based on your role and if your in detachments A B C D E or T for traffic units 10-19 to 100 Main Street for a 10-56(possible drunk pedestrian or drunk on foot) 10-36 was a routine traffic stop nothing close to a time check . 10-99 was a wanted or warrant.
Loved the video bro!!
Once during a sudden ice storm 5/6 officers on my shift slid off road. I hit a pole, others in ditches. They asked me for weeks every shift 10-13....lol
Great job. I agree the codes are different in different places. For example you referenced 10-43 as murder or to kill. At the department I volunteer for in Texas 10-43 is a request for information or history (Dispatch, check 10-43 on subject for previous DUI). And even departments right next door have a slightly different list. Gets fun when you officers from multiple agencies patched together - then plain English tends to rule.
George Joos our dept, 10-43 is a chase/pursuit
Stay safe out there 401
We use this in our school as a part of our org.. We didnt share this to public.. But you tell them already.. GREAT!!!
Nice thing where I live our police/sheriffs deputies speak mostly in plain talk. There are a few codes (only 11), everything else is all plain English. Makes listening to them a lot easier.
I've run out of Donut Operator, now I'm watching 401. Hurricane don't knock out my power
IM EARILY FOR ONCE, I WAS EATING AND SAW THIS VID AND JUST HOPPED ON IT. sorry for caps i love your videos and channel, keep up the good work!
In Missouri the 10-50 is followed up by either J-1, J-2, J-3, and J-4. J-1 being vehicle accident no injuries, up to J-4 which is Fatality. The most commonly used is typically 10-50 J-2 "motore vehicle accident minor injuries"
Ha, this is awesome. Im not LEO but I do service calls and deal with dispatchers on a regular basis. Now, some of these 10 codes I can see throwing 'em off in the office. All boggled asking each other and maybe even Googling. Great stuff. 😁👍🇺🇸
You are the best police officer I have ever seen.
Here in Japan the codes are nationalized. My favorite is Code "nana ichi ichi" (711), it means restroom break because usually we stop at a convenience store.
Officer: *sftph* "he just 10-50ed in the the mac Donald's drive through, is deadly force permitted?" *sftph* Supervisor: *sftph* "denied, just get me a Big Mac with Fanta for the drink please" *sftph*
I was a Sheriff's detention officer for a year before I switched to Fire Dept, and 10-7 for us (north TX) was lunch, I would be "10-7 ODR" (Officer's Dining Room)
All the best dude, great videos
That moment you realize those Civil Protection cops in Half Life 2 were actually saying real things rather than random number gibberish.
