What is indicated by the code "10-9" in LASD communications?

Finished Assignment
Repeat
Carjacking
Murder

The correct answer is: Repeat

The code "10-9" in LASD communications is used to convey the instruction to "Repeat." This means that when an officer or dispatcher calls out this code, they are asking the person they are communicating with to repeat their last transmission. This is essential for ensuring that information is received accurately, especially in high-pressure situations where miscommunication can lead to significant consequences. The use of codes like "10-9" helps streamline communication among personnel, making it quicker and more efficient. Officers rely on these codes during radio transmissions to avoid lengthy explanations and to facilitate clarity and understanding in their communications. In emergency scenarios, the ability to quickly clarify information by asking for a repeat can be critical for operational effectiveness and safety.
