Given that one of the events in our role-playing exercise at school involves encounters with the police, I find this article to be really interesting. I suppose I will suggest that I play one of the police officers as this provides me with an idea of how to be one.

This is interesting, I’ve seen several movies where they made use of this but I failed to appreciate it because I didn’t get their meanings. It sounds pretty cool once you understand the meanings as opposed to just thinking the police officer is just blurting out some random codes!

I’ve enjoyed learning new stuff on the blog and would love to read more on interesting yet informative posts like these.

Good to know some of the common codes and their uses. I skimmed through the list and saw some ones that I recognize. Do you think police officers know every code on this list… or just the popular ones? I wonder…

Just saw the movie Nightcrawler where the main actor memorized the codes within a week or two. I wanted to see how many codes there actually are so this list proved useful. Thanks for sharing!

Great write up. I recently downloaded a police scanner app on my iPhone and I can hear the police communicate and they use these codes. 10-4 is the most popular one and one I hear the most. I hope I never hear 10-74… (Prison Break) Good read!
