Ten-Codes Over and Out
November 13, 2006
Lindsey Ward
State police are changing the way they communicate with one another.
The state law enforcement agency decided to abandon the ten-codes and instead
use common language.
The changes will ensure all local, state and federal agencies can communicate
in a crisis situation.
September 11th sparked an interest in a need for change. Many of the
emergency responders had different codes creating a communication crisis.
“There were a whole bunch of agencies trying to work together. Some used
ten-codes, some didn't use ten-codes, some use plain language and with the
agencies using ten-codes. Not every agency's ten-code means the same thing as the
next. So there was a lot of confusion,” Trooper Nelson from the Virginia
State Police said.
Police agencies have used ten-codes since the 1920s and said they plan to
keep the most universal-ten four.
