Louisiana 10-Codes

[TXDispatcher1]

Help! I'm a Texan listening to Louisiana agencies on Broadcastify and I'm completely mystified by your 10 codes. I've only found one list of Louisiana 10 codes on the internet and they're completely incorrect. I listen to LA State Police, some university police departments, some other agencies as well as the New Orleans Fire Department and they're using very different 10 codes from the APCO 10 codes or the ten codes that the Texas DPS uses. Can anyone enlighten me as to what these distinctive Louisiana codes are? I'd really appreciate the help.

From what I've seen they use both signals and 10 code.

They're still using the codes in BushDoctor's list, and a few more.

At least in north LA, I've heard LSP and local agencies use:
10-2 = Code-4 (scene is under control, no further units required)
10-5 = Relay information to (or meet with)
10-12 = "civilian(s)" present (also transporting "civilian" to another location)
10-14 = Escort (funeral procession, escorting someone to another location, etc)
10-26 = Driver's license/ID check
10-31 = Local warrants (sometimes 10-29 is used instead)
10-48 = Obstructed (ie, by a trailer hitch) or unreadable (ie, temporary tag in the rear window) license plate
10-50 = No/negative
10-90 = Traffic stop (except LSP, they just use 10-6)
10-91 = Radio check

I've also heard LSP and local agencies use Signal codes:
18 = Stranded/broken-down motorist
20 = Vehicle crash
95 = Firearm
98 = DUI
99 = Reckless driver
100= Hit-and-run
103= Disturbance
103-I= Intoxicated
103-M= Mental
108 = Resisting (or fleeing, either on-foot or in vehicle)

The only thing I've figured out for certain so far is that 10-97 means 'arrived on the scene' (which oddly enough is what the Houston Fire Dept used to use for the same purpose) and 10-31 for sure means 'assignment completed'. Other than that I'm still clueless. I also listen to University of New Orleans PD, Tulane Univ PD, and New Orleans Harbor PD, and they all use the same codes. Absolutely everything I've found online is totally inaccurate. "Item number" is what we Texans would call "incident number" or "case number". Thanks for everyone's help so far.
