There are a number of results that come up with a Google search. IIRC you may need to assemble a list from multiple sources and/or confirmation by context while listening, as they are not all complete and/or have evolved over time. This one looks familiar and there's this. This, this, this, and other stuff there is interesting.

The base 10 codes are mostly the same, I'll give out a few I know/remember, but I'll mention this: 10 codes can vary from state to state, county to county, and department to department. Having worked at a particular institution for a number of years, I can tell you, just going to another nearby institution will have mostly the same but a few different takes on 10 codes, and don't even get me started on "signals", sometimes you just got to guess based on the context. Some of the more obscure codes are completely different that what the institution I learned from use, and when I see some lists, some of them stand out.
10-1 Bad Copy/Bad Signal
10-2 Good Signal
10-4 Everything is Okay, Understood, Universal Positive Reply
10-7 Out of service/off duty
10-8 in service/on duty
10-9 'What did you say again'
10-12 to be present at a location
10-14 escort of inmate/person in custody
10-15 the actual inmate/person under arrest
10-19 return to base/return to control/hq
10-21 call the base/control/hq
10-25 make contact with somebody/trying to call somebody on the phone
10-43 "I have a delivery for you"/information to relay/paperwork
10-45 "call me on the telephone"
10-55 call a different person on the telephone
10-56 "meet with me at a certain place"
10-88 "What phone number can I call you at" a.k.a. letting your entire shift know by calling the supervisor on the radio to tell him another person is calling in sick today and giving them an idea about how many people might be stuck working overtime
10-98 assignment/task completed
You'll quickly notice the ones I've listed will differ in ways to other lists, as again, every place has their own way to talk on the radio.
And just as a note, 10 codes go out the window when there is an emergency, should just be all plain English to avoid confusion.

I've heard 10-15 used as in, "I'm 10-15 with one" as in "enroute to jail". Pasadena does this.
10-35 is used quite a bit. In Pasadena, if the officer is running a person or a plate and the return has a want/warrant, the dispatcher will sometimes ask the requesting unit "are you 10-35?" Meaning "can your suspect hear your radio". I've also hear it used to tell the officer to go "10-35", which is out of ear shot of the suspect.
10-97 (sometimes abbreviated to '97) is "arriving on scene".

This is a little out of date, but might help you in your search

If you go to my website I have it listed https://nlaco.net I may be wrong but I believe https://code2high.com may have it
thank all those are very generic and have come across them all / LASD has very specific codes / terms unique to their operation I do have a printed copy just was looking for a way not to transcribe. looks like I will have to and willing to share here once completed
yes this is the one I have it may need updating but I am going to transcribe to make digital
thank you / was able to cut paste from here
of anyone has this in digital forum or a clear copy that I can retype ???? more than happy to share once done
thanks all, I re typed it and this is exactly what I was looking for
On a side note, that Code2High guy needs to do some updating, unless he's not doing the website anymore.
... and answer his emails.
yes I got it from your site just re wrote it and added some other info for reference / thank you
I don't think code 2 high has been updated in years. he mainly takes pics of apparatus is all I see

Yeah, no new police photos have been added in the past year or two except for fire equipment but that's still scarce
