[Scan-DC] Signal 13

[GRABILL]

"Confirm" means "Yeah, this is for real".  "Deny" is "oops I hit the 
(&*($&!!! button by mistake and now I feel like an idiot".

And, yeah, this is why under NIMS they have 'encouraged' agencies just to go 
plain voice.  Everyone had different codes for just about everything, and 
all of the codes  you said below mean totally different things to me. 
10-50 is a vehicle accident, 10-99 is a wanted person.  LOL

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?)
