CB 10 Codes - Association of Public Communications (APCO)
The ones most useful for truck drivers are marked in blue, although most people seldom use 10 codes anymore. It became easier through the years to just use words. As a side note I think there are a whole lot of 10-96 on the roads these days. 10-0 Caution 10-1 Poor signal/unable to copy 10-2 Good signal 10-3 Stop transmitting 10-4 Understood/OK/Understand? 10-5 Relay 10-6 Stand by unless urgent 10-7 Out of service 10-8 In service 10-9 Repeat/come back 10-10 Fight in progress 10-11 Dog case 10-12 Stop/Stand by 10-13 Weather/Road report 10-14 Prowler report 10-15 Civil disturbance 10-16 Domestic disturbance 10-17 Meet complainant 10-18 Quickly 10-19 Return to 10-20 Location 10-21 Use telephone 10-22 Disregard 10-23 Arrived at scene 10-24 Assignment completed 10-25 Report in person 10-26 Detaining subject 10-27 Drivers license info 10-28 Vehicle registration info 10-29 Check for wanted 10-30 Unnecessary use of radio 10-31 Crime in progress 10-32 Man with a gun 10-33 Emergency 10-34 Riot 10-35 Major crime alert 10-36 Correct time 10-37 (investigate) suspicious vehicle 10-38 Stopping a suspicious vehicle 10-39 Urgent 10-40 Silent approach 10-41 Begin shift 10-42 Ending shift 10-43 Information 10-44 Permission to leave/permission for a break 10-45 Animal carcass at 10-46 Assist motorist 10-47 Emergency road repair at 10-48 Traffic standard repair at 10-49 Traffic light out at 10-50 Accident (fatal,personal injury,property damage) 10-51 Wrecker needed 10-52 Ambulance needed 10-53 Road blocked at 10-54 Livestock on highway 10-55 Suspected DUI 10-56 Intoxicated pedestrian 10-57 Hit and run (fatal,personal injury,property damage) 10-58 Direct traffic 10-59 Convoy/escort 10-60 Squad in vicinity 10-61 Isolate self for message 10-62 Reply to message 10-63 Prepare to make written copy 10-64 Message for local delivery 10-65 Net message assignment 10-66 Message cancellation 10-67 Clear for net message 10-68 Dispatch information 10-69 Message received 10-70 Fire 10-71 Advise nature of fire 10-72 Report progress on fire 10-73 Smoke report 10-74 Negative 10-75 In contact with 10-76 En route to 10-77 ETA (estimated time of arrival) 10-78 Need assistance 10-79 Notify coroner 10-80 Chase in progress 10-81 Breathalyzer 10-82 Reserve lodging 10-83 Work school crossing at 10-84 If meeting...advise ETA 10-85 Delay due to 10-86 Officer/operator on duty 10-87 Pick up/Distribute checks 10-88 Present telephone number of 10-89 Bomb threat 10-90 Bank alarm at 10-91 Pick up subject/prisoner 10-92 Improperly parked vehicle 10-93 Blockade 10-94 Drag racing 10-95 Subject/prisoner in custody 10-96 Mental subject 10-97 Check signal 10-98 Prison/jail break 10-99 Wanted/stolen |
