In APCO 10-codes, 10-14 means "Convoy or Escort."
This code is typically used by law enforcement or emergency services to indicate that they are escorting a convoy of vehicles. This could involve escorting dignitaries, transporting valuable goods, or assisting in situations where special attention to safety is required.
For example:
- Officer: "We are initiating a 10-14 for the transport of the armored vehicle."
- Dispatch: "Copy that, 10-14 acknowledged. Maintain safety protocols."
Using 10-14 helps communicate the need for heightened awareness and coordination among units involved in the escort operation, ensuring that everyone is aware of the situation and can provide assistance if needed.
