Which code denotes a request by a police officer for location information?

• A. 10-20
• B. 10-9
• C. 10-4
• D. 10-3

Answer: (A)

In police radio practice, there is a specific code used to ask where someone is. This location code is used whenever an officer needs to know another person’s current position, so they can coordinate safely and direct resources. Saying something like “What is your location?” activates that code, signaling a request for location information. The other codes serve different functions: the repeat code is used when a message wasn’t heard and needs to be spoken again; the acknowledgment code means the message was received and understood; the stop-transmitting code tells everyone to cease transmitting. Since the question asks for the code that requests location information, the location code is the correct one.
