Law Enforcement 10 Codes

Amplify’d from careersinlaw.org

They are a set of numbers, which are used to relay specific information to all members of a rescue team. These codes are considered to be the brain child of Charles Hopper.  In the mid 1930s, radio communications had to be kept brief. At that time, Charles was the Communication’s Director for the Illinois State Police. He realized that by using codes, messages could be relayed in a concise and quick manner. Training included teaching radio operators to always begin a message with the same syllable. Hopper decided to use the ten as the first part of every message. This was a method of gaining the attention of the recipient and was not an actual part of the message. (Check out law school online and pursuing a career in law) Read more at careersinlaw.org
