What does code 10-86 indicate?

10-50 Send ambulance (employee involved) 10-55 Body recovered Advise correct time 10-89 terminate medical patch

Correct Answer:

Advise correct time

Explanation:

Ten-codes are shorthand used on radios to convey common actions quickly. The code in question is specifically used to request or confirm the exact current time. This matters because accurate timestamps are essential for incident timelines, evidence handling, and coordinating with other units or agencies. By using this code, you prompt everyone involved to synchronize clocks and report the precise time of events. Keep in mind that meanings can vary by agency, so always refer to your unit’s code list.
