Police
and other emergency personnel communicate using a standard
code called '10-codes'. (From the number '10',
which precedes many of these calls.)
You will
find your Police Scanner much more interesting if you
can understand the communication between the dispatcher
and the units responding to a call. This list will clarify
many commonly used terms used by emergency personnel.
Scanner
frequencies are specific to your region and you
will need to obtain the list of local frequencies from
your Police or Fire Dept. You can also ask a store that
sells scanners, such as 'Radio Shack' for a local frequency
list.
