In APCO 10-codes, 10-75 refers to "In contact with."
This code is used to indicate that a unit or individual is currently in communication with someone or has made contact with a particular person or entity. It serves as a way for officers or dispatchers to communicate that they are engaged with another party, which can be crucial for coordinating actions or responses during various incidents.
For example, a typical exchange might go like this:
- Dispatcher: "Unit 5, have you made contact with the informant?"
- Unit 5: "10-75, I'm on the line with them now."
Using 10-75 helps streamline communication and ensures that all involved parties are aware of ongoing interactions, which is vital for effective coordination and response in emergency situations.
