List of 10-Codes deleted....

Note that this is the suggested use of the 10-codes. If a police department
rarely gets a 10-89 (bomb threat) they could use it for another purpose.
They can also disregared the list and make up there own 10-Code.

In the post re: 10 Codes, 10-10 was given as "flight in progress."
10-10 is more commonly "out of service, subject to call" here on
the left.coast.

Around here, 10-10 means "negative"

10-61 and 10-62 are coffee break and lunch break respectively.
10-80 thru 10-89 are "record of <some offence>"

Considering that 10-codes aren't really followed 100%, what exactly was
the error? (sorry I missed the original post--i think)

Most departments use codes common to the county in which they
operate, most of the codes listed here are NOT used by most of the country
some use 11 codes and 900 codes in addition to the 10 codes, and then
there is San Francisco which uses some 500 codes too. Plus Penal codes
Health and Safety Codes, Harbors and Navigations, well you get the idea.

When I get into a new area or an area I'm not familiar with, I usually
find a mall and go the the local Radio Shack and 9 times out of 10 they
have a decent listing (usually xeroxed by the store) for that particular
area.

Here in Chicago, we use the following 10-Codes:

10-1 Officer Needs Help

10-4 (Response as a 2-Man Unit)
10-99 (or 99 for short) (Response as a 1-Man Unit)

Please note Radio Shack's "Police Call" Guide incorrectly x-posed 10-4 and
10-99 and on an unrelated note: The district maps for chicago are out of date,
due to an area HQ closing down, the map was re-drawn.
