I have an updated 10 code for my area with several differences I am noticing. I will try to make a general list that resembles a majority, but it seems departments are modifying their own codes.

I'm by no means an experienced scannist, but I've never heard a department that used a standard APCO codes list. Seems most dept's I've heard used their own.

That's is why the trend is moving back to plain language, especially with mutual aid responses. You may not know what EMS code 10 means but we all understand gunshot victim.

Cumberland County Sheriff, Fire, and EMS, Crossville Police and Fire Live Scanner Audio Feed

10-1 Receiving poorly
10-2 Receiving well
10-3 Stop transmitting
10-4 Acknowledgement
10-5 Relay
10-6 Busy
10-7 Out of service
10-8 In service
... ... ...

(I shortened the quote to conserve space)

The 10 codes above align almost exactly with the list I have for Murfreesboro and Rutherford County. The singles numbers do not.
