Houston we have a problem: I didn't see any codes for illegal alien

 

[SCANdal]

Not to throw a wet blanket on the party here...

(thanks to http://www.bearcat1.com/radiotx.htm for the police codes)

The accruacy of the site referenced above is questionable. I visited my state's page and found 10-codes listed for departments that don't even exist anymore.

As an aside...would it not make more sense to post stuff like this in the respective state forums, so that people in (or visiting) the area looking for material cut and paste from somewhere else on the 'net can find it easier then having to weed through a general forum such as this one? So far we have two states represented...imagine how unmanageable this thread would get if more (forget all fifty) states are piled on?

We had 911 with FD contracts as well as private contracts. These are from about 12 years ago when cell-phones were not in everyones pocket like they are today - so we had a few "unofficial codes" which were commonly used which you'll prob find more interesting than the old standards.
