10-76: En route

In APCO 10-codes, 10-76 refers to "En route."

This code is used to indicate that a unit or individual is on their way to a specified location or destination. It's a way for officers or dispatchers to communicate that assistance or a response is in transit, which is important for situational awareness and coordination during emergencies or incidents.

For example, a typical exchange might look like this:

  • Dispatcher: "Unit 2, please respond to the location of the reported accident."
  • Unit 2: "10-76, I'm en route to the scene."

Using 10-76 helps ensure that all parties involved are informed about the movement of units, enabling better coordination and response times in various situations.
