In APCO 10-codes, 10-36 refers to "Correct time."
This code is used by law enforcement officers or dispatchers to request or provide the current time. The use of this code helps to ensure clear communication, especially in situations where timing is critical, such as coordinating responses, documenting incidents, or managing shifts.
For example:
- Officer: "Dispatch, please provide a 10-36."
- Dispatcher: "The current time is 14:45."
Using 10-36 helps maintain efficiency and clarity in radio communications, particularly in fast-paced environments.
