What does code 10-16 indicate?

• A. Pick up Prisoner at...
• B. Go to...
• C. Weather and Road Conditions
• D. Dispatched Too Rapidly

Answer: (A)

In this radio code system, 10-16 is used to signal that a prisoner needs to be picked up. It’s the shorthand you’d use when you’ve arrested someone or another agency is holding a prisoner and you need to retrieve them for transport to custody. The typical message goes with a location, like “Pickup prisoner at …,” which tells the dispatcher where to send the unit to retrieve the prisoner and bring them into custody. That makes it the best fit here: the intent is specifically about obtaining a prisoner for transport, not just going to a location, reporting weather or road conditions, or describing how rapidly something was dispatched. The other options describe different tasks or information and don’t align with the standard meaning of 10-16.
