In APCO 10-codes, 10-94 refers to "Drag Racing."
This code is used by law enforcement to indicate that there is an ongoing situation involving illegal drag racing activities. Such incidents often occur on public roads and can pose significant safety risks to both participants and bystanders.
For example, a radio communication might sound like this:
- Unit 23: "Dispatch, this is Unit 23, responding to a report of a 10-94 on Main Street near the park."
- Dispatcher: "Copy that, Unit 23. Proceed with caution and request backup if needed."
Using 10-94 helps officers quickly convey the nature of the disturbance, allowing for appropriate responses and resource allocation to address the illegal activity.
