Ten-codes are a system of communication codes used in radio transmissions, particularly by law enforcement and emergency services personnel
The codes were developed to provide a quick and efficient way of relaying information over the radio while minimizing confusion
Each code consists of a numerical value paired with a specific phrase or message, such as "10-4" for "affirmative" or "10-20" for "location"
Ten-codes have been widely adopted by various agencies worldwide and are an integral part of radio communication in many countries
While originally intended for radio conversations, the use of ten-codes has also expanded to other forms of communication within law enforcement and emergency services.
