SCANNER - POLICE

[mlevin]

And most jurisdictions the call takers are also dispatchers, so they would know the police/fire codes. But quite frankly is someone called 911 and started quoting 10 codes I'd be a little leary, it's not something you expect to hear from a citizen.

That's exactly why I said what I said.

10-22 in DC is disregard, in MC it's request for or responding for backup.

Actually, in Montgomery County 10-22 means "disregard". Backup for the police in the county is code22. http://home.houston.rr.com/ecarlson/scanner/police.html

Jeez...you're right. And I have Eric's guide printed out right next to me too... :lol:

I personally make a quick 10-15 when I am going 10-6 at the 10-3 everyday...usually code 1. However there are sometimes that we could use a 10-33 for that 10-24.

Not every department uses 10 or 11 codes. Not every dept uses flip carts or CAD software.

Some of you need to stop chasing police cars with scanners and give a 10-99 report on this 11-Waste of time.

10-4.
