What does code 10-15 indicate?

• A. Message Delivered
• B. Escort
• C. Go to...
• D. Complete Assignment Quickly

Answer: (A)

In police radio communication, codes are used to convey specific statuses quickly. When a message has been delivered to the intended recipient, that status is reported to confirm the transmission reached the person it was meant for. This is different from a general “okay” acknowledgment and from any directive to take a particular action. So, signaling that the message was delivered lets dispatch know the information has successfully reached the right person and no further relay is needed unless instructions follow. Keep in mind that 10-codes can vary by agency, so some departments might use different codes for similar ideas, but in this context the delivery of the message is what’s being conveyed.
