In APCO 10-codes, 10-27 refers to "Identify Operator."
This code is used by law enforcement and emergency services to request the identification of the operator or driver of a vehicle. It may be used in situations where there is uncertainty about who is operating a vehicle, especially during traffic stops or investigations.
For example:
- Officer: "Dispatcher, can you run a check on the vehicle? 10-27 for the operator's information."
- Dispatcher: "Copy that, Officer. I'll get the operator's details for you."
The use of 10-27 helps maintain clear communication among officers and dispatchers, ensuring that they have accurate information regarding individuals involved in incidents. This can be crucial for safety and decision-making in law enforcement operations.
