In APCO 10-codes, 10-68 refers to "Message received."
This code is used by law enforcement or emergency services personnel to acknowledge that they have received and understood a message or communication from dispatch or another unit. It serves as a confirmation that the message has been noted and that the officer or unit is ready to proceed with the information or instructions provided.
For example, a communication might occur as follows:
- Dispatcher: "Unit 5, please respond to the suspect's location. Over."
- Unit 5: "10-68. Message received."
Using 10-68 helps facilitate clear communication and ensures that all parties are on the same page during operations.
