Recently started scanning San Joaquin SO and found they use a different set of radio codes than CHP or Tracy PD. Does anybody have a source for their codes?

They are 900 codes. I have the 10 and 11 codes from tracy and CHP.
We also use "Canlis" codes, which were named after a former Sheriff. I can't give those out, but if you listen enough, you can figure most of them out. Our dispatchers LOVE to use them rather than just say the word for something.
The most common 9-Codes we use are:
949 - Vehicle Stop (11-95)
962 - Subject Stop
908 - On Scene (10-97)
909 - In Service (10-8)
926 - Location (10-20)
933 - Alarm (10-33)
939 - Tow (11-85)
940 - Meet someone (11-98)
940A - Emergency Officer needs help (11-99)
944 - Priority Traffic Only (Code 33)

We used to eavesdrop on the Stockton sheriff; when we were fishing in the Delta. Lots of crazy stuff went down of Friday and Saturday nights. It was easy enough to know what was going on because they used the common penal and vehicle codes. The only differece I noted at the time, was that all of the city police departments and even the CHP dispatcher had the ability to key up on the sheriff's primary VHF repeater and broadcast APB's. Stockton PD was alone on UFH in the late 70s.
Many local police agencies don't often use that 9 and 10-11 code talk anymore because speaking English is understood by everybody. In the meantime get used to learning the common penal and vehicle codes. You can often learn more from hearing those, instead of trying to figure out some law enforcement agency's internal languages.
Both the California Penal and Vehicle codes are easily found on line. Here are just a few common codes used by every agency in the state...
187 murder
211 robbery
242 battery
261 rape
288 child molester
459 burglary
594 vandalism
647 F public drunkeness
653 K posessing a switchblade knife
653 M obscene phone calls.
5150 W&I holding an insane person
11358 H&S marijuana poseession
23102 VC drunk driving
23152 VC speeding
40508 A failure to appear

Speaking in plain language makes sense, that's probably why San Joaquin doesn't do it
PC and CVC codes are RARELY used on the radio so the OP can stick to the 9 codesHOwever, the above PC/CVC codes above are correct, with the exception of 23102 and 23152....
23102 might be a typo? I don't know what that is. 23152 is not speeding, but rather drunk driving
(EDIT)### I looked up 23102....it used to be drunk driving but was changed to 23152 so you get a 1/2 point hahaha

The CHP's 10-11 codes are probably easy to find on the internet. First Alarm security is the last one still using that ancient 900 code stuff that goes back to the 60s. My OM was a deputy sheriff at the time in the Santa Cruz area; so he knew what they meant.
I know for sure that the Santa Clara county SO and San Jose PD's 10-11 code can be found in a textbook called "Modern Patrol Procedures". Look for this in a community college bookstore, where they also have criminal jutice courses and or a police academy such as Gavilan over in the Gilroy area.
