What is code 10-8 used for?

• A. Disregard
• B. In-service
• C. Acknowledgment (2 member team)
• D. Location

Answer: (B)

Code 10-8 means you are in service and available for calls. In police radio language, this status shows dispatch that you’re on duty and ready to respond, such as when you’re on patrol or have returned to service after a break. That’s why it’s the best fit for the question. The other options point to different ideas—disregard would be ignoring a message, location would indicate reporting where you are, and acknowledgment is simply confirming receipt of a message—none of which convey the idea of being available and on duty like 10-8 does.
