10-98X

[kylev]

I have a list of the 10-98 disposistions but What does 10-98X mean other than just Backup Unit.

Does it mean for the dispatch to send another unit as backup?

Just wondering. I am trying to print a small pocket sized book of 10 codes and freqs in my scanner and I want it to be correctly listed in my book.

THanks guys.

It could be different for different agencies...

is this LSP???? County Mounty???? Local Yocal???? Rent A Cop?

I am a little confused. Since 10-98 indicates the announcing unit is completed the assingment and clearing the scene, why would you think another unit needs to be dispatched? If another unit is needed at the scene it is pretty evident that no one is going to leave. I suspect that the "X" indicates the unit leaving is not the unit responsible for handling the item number assigned and is just leaving because he/she/they are no longer needed at the scene. But of course that is just a guess as I have never monitored the Lafayette SO or PD, and unless the LSP have changed in the past 2 months, they don't use disposition codes on 10-98 like those listed.

You are correct. The primary unit will close the incident using a disposition code such as "10-98 Delta" meaning he ended the call by filing a report with no arrest or enforcement action taken. The secondary unit(s) will respond to dispatch with "10-98 X-ray" meaning they were the "Xtra" or back up unit. The only time a secondary unit will not use the "Xray" disposition is on an alarm call (he will give the disposition of H-hotel like the primary unit).

LPD and LPSO use the follwing dispositions:

A-alpha: arrest made, no report to follow (rarely used by LPD anymore as all arrests are documented. LPSO Warrants Div. and Lafayette City Marshals will use this when they execute an arrest warrant).
B-bravo: assignment completed, no report to follow.
C-charlie: cancelled by complainant prior to officer's arrival/police assistance no longer needed.
D-delta: report filed
E-echo: arrest made with report to follow
F-foxtrot: citation/misdemeanor summons issued
G-golf: no police action possible, civil matter
H-hotel: false alarm
I-india: field interview report of suspicious person filed
J-juliet: supplemental report filed (usually a report filed with no followup investigation just to document an incident or secondary officer's report to "supplement" the primary officer's report
K-kilo: no police action necessary or taken
L-lima: peace restored
M-mike: referred to other police agency
N-november: referred to other LPD division
O-ocean: taken to medical facility
P-papa: returned to home/family; no report to follow
R-romeo: unable to locate incident or complainant
S-sierra: unable to locate suspect
T-tango: warning given
X-xray: extra/secondary unin on an incident

Signals and codes are the same thing. LPSO and LSP still use the old "signal" while LPD and some other agencies use the updated "code". It's all the same. The codes do differ somewhat. LSP refers to a mental patient as a 103M while LPSO and LPD refer to it as a signal/code 25. LSP refers to a vehicle crash as a signal 20 while LPSO and LPD refer to it as a signal/code 21. The codes follow the Louisiana Revised Statutes, Title 14 which is the Criminal Code, code 30 on up. Hope this helps!
