Talk:Police radio code

Cleanup Tag removed

I removed the Cleanup tag. It looks like at this point the article has been pretty well cleaned up. If someone disagrees, please put it back and tell what you see that needs fixing. Harry1717 (talk) 03:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Codes in other Countries

Do these codes appear in other countries besides the united states? Are they recognised by the Australian Police?

Some one added in husband beating. Most likely as a joke.

Codes for Dallas, Texas

The police department in Dallas is eliminating their radio codes. During the 9/11 tragedy in New York there was confusion due to different codes used by different agencies. As a result there is now a trend against using them. Anyway, here's an article which lists many of them, in case anyone thinks that adding obsolete codes would be worthwhile.

Why are these both for the same event? Rich Farmbrough, 18:18, 4 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Penal Codes & Vehicle Codes

Don't know what area of California this article is referring to, but most all agencies in Southern California, including CHP, use Penal Code numbers and Vehicle Code numbers to descrbibe most crimes over the radio. For example, I have never heard of a radio call for a "503 vehicle", but instead we say "10851 vehicle" ("ten-eight-five-one vehicle") or "20002 investigation" ("twenty-thousand-two investigation"). Additionally, for public intoxication, "647(f) subject" or locally "Code 40 subject". I have not heard many of the "hundred codes" used by officers (in the SoCal area at least). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.71.220.100 (talk) 00:48, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
