York County Codes/Signals

[jbstahr]

Does anyone have the codes and signals used by York County EMS and the York County Sheriff's Office? From what I can tell the 10 codes are pretty close to what SCHP uses, but there are a few that I can't pick up. Any help is greatly appreciated.

York County Fire and EMS use Code 1 as light and sirens code 3 no lights and sirens, the Sheriff's deparment is oposite.

Actually, Fire & EMS officially stopped using "Codes" alltogether.

It's now Priority 1 for emergent and Priority 2 for non-emergent or routine traffic. A priority 3 doesn't actually exist, but you'll hear it occasionally from the mobiloe units, and it means the same thing as priority 2 to dispatch.
