In APCO 10-codes, 10-8 means "In Service."
This indicates that an officer or unit is available for duty and ready to respond to calls. When a unit is 10-8, it signifies that they are operational and can take assignments from dispatch. For example:
- Officer: "Dispatch, I'm back 10-8."
Using this code helps streamline communication between officers and dispatch, ensuring that everyone is aware of the status of various units in the field.
