[Scan-DC] Signal 13

[Doug Kitchener]

Interesting!  Never heard the confirm or deny thing... "confirm" signifies trouble?  Or does it confirm that the officer is OK?

I don't wanna get it confused, give the wrong answer, and have a million cops come out!  :)

Incidentally, Montgomery changed that at one point... the old way, the dispatcher checking the welfare would say "10-31?" and the no-trouble response was "10-41" (I can't remember what the "trouble" response was, will have to see if I have an old code sheet around here!  It may have been "10-40").  Anyway, somewhere along the line it got changed so the dispatcher would ask "10-40?" and the officer would reply "10-41" (or, I guess, "10-50"!)

10-4?

And 10-99 used to be a meal break, got changed to Code 92, which is what I'm gonna do right now!  (in DC, 10-99 was the way a 2-person car said "10-4", wonder if that's still true.)  And of course, all of that is why Mtgy dropped the 10 codes!

:)


1K-17 (wasn't that Joe Friday's call sign?)
