Philly codes

[dqpalmer]

Anybody know a source for radio codes used in Philadelphia? I know the police and fire don't use many 10-codes, but I'd like to decode the ones they do use.

Thanks.

For the most part, the PPD uses very few numerical codes over the radio. On most days you will the following:

45 - Auto Accident Report
48 - Incident Report
302 - Mental Case
369 - Off Duty Police Officer
1037 - Drunk Driver
5292 - Dead Body

You will also hear the following disposition codes:

UNF - Unfounded
RTF - Report to Follow
GOA - Gone on Arrival
NAT - Necessary Action Taken

As for the PFD, the following "boxes" are dispatched for fires:

Tactical Box - 2 Engines, 2 Ladders and 1 Battalion Chief
Box - 4 Engines, 2 Ladders and 2 Battalion Chiefs
High Rise Box - 4 Engines, 3 Ladders and 2 Battalion Chiefs
