What does the code "10-4" signify in communication?

  1. I do not understand

  2. Acknowledged

  3. Please repeat

  4. All units respond

The correct answer is: Acknowledged

The code "10-4" signifies "Acknowledged," which is widely used in radio communication to confirm that a message has been received and understood. This code is part of the ten-codes, a set of brevity codes used across law enforcement agencies to facilitate clear and concise communication over radio systems. When an officer or dispatcher uses "10-4," it indicates to the sender that their transmission was received correctly, allowing for efficient and effective communication. Understanding the use of "10-4" is crucial for maintaining operational clarity, especially in critical situations where every second counts. The other codes in the options provide different meanings that do not correlate with the acknowledgment process, underscoring the uniqueness of "10-4" in facilitating communication among units.
