Assuming you mean Plymouth County, I've never paid attention to them. Until you mentioned it I'm not sure I even knew that had them.

That said, if you listen for a while you can often pick up the meaning from the context.

MSP uses their codes, and I think the Environmental Police use some of them as well, but not a lot. Other than that, no one really uses them unless they have/had a police chief who is a retired trooper. Maybe.

Looked it up..

The Plymouth County Bureau of Criminal Investigation, or BCI,

I have a few Bapern T band Zones and some Plymouth County Frequencies which are a Mix of Analog and P25 But I really dont pay attention
enough to know the codes.

What ECPS92 said. If you listen to 483.4000, you can hear units dispatched to various towns. I don't know if Brockton uses them, but it's possible.

Brockton uses BCI to take pictures of fatal accidents, shootings etc.

others come to mind, but I won't name People :alien:
The only codes i've ever used were by Brockton PD. The list that was screen grabbed is incomplete at best. Of course maybe it's different in "Brockton County." Wherever that is.

Bonus points to anyone who can explain what a "37" means and why they use it.
