  • http://www.hodrw.com/cop1.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code http://www.einvestigator.com/links/police_ten_codes.htm hope these web sites help you, I know when I was growing up as a kid and my Dad was a cop it was alot of fun listening to them and the radios, and i still have a scanner also.
  • 10-97 Here's a place, got 10-32 Drowning, also 11-58 Radio monitored, use phone, and 288 Lewd conduct; and some other number codes, didn't have 10-100 though http://www.radiolabs.com/police-codes.html Here's wiki's page, it did have 10-100 but several meanings for it; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code I alluz thot 10-100 was 'nature calls' but apparently it could mean 'dead body' which I guess could be a call of nature. These are usually called radio 10 code, 'lingo' would refer more to police slang. Or argot and/or jargon which are terms, slang and otherwise, that apply to a particular occupation or specific group. Including terms that just have a different or specific meaning than in the general public. But then you won't usually hear them on your scanner. 10-7
  • The other answerers gave pretty good info but the trouble is that each police/sheriff/constable or what ever law enforcement organization generally has their own list of "10 codes". Some are almost universal like 10-4 for acknowledged or I understand and will comply, but others like 10-100 and a number of others seem to be different where ever you go. You could always just ask the dispatcher at the local PD if you can have a list of the radio codes. The worst they are likely to do is tell you no.
