What does the code 10-15 typically signify?

The code 10-15 typically signifies "en route with prisoner." This code is part of a system used by law enforcement agencies to standardize communication and improve clarity and efficiency during radio transmissions. When an officer indicates they are "10-15," it informs other units and dispatch that they are transporting a detainee, which is important for situational awareness and coordinating resources.

This code allows others in the communication network to understand that an officer is engaged in a specific and sensitive operation, and may require backup or monitoring while they are in transit. Knowing that an officer is transporting a prisoner can help ensure appropriate safety measures are taken during that time, and it prevents any misunderstanding regarding the officer's status or availability.
