What information does 10-20 provide?

• A. In service; available for calls.
• B. Arrived at the scene.
• C. Location of the officer or incident.
• D. Repeat the last transmission.

Answer: (C)

The information conveyed by 10-20 is the location of the officer or incident. This code is used to request or report where you are or where something is happening, so dispatch and other units can locate you quickly and coordinate the response. Other common radio phrases describe status (being available for calls), having arrived at the scene, or repeating a transmission, which are separate types of information and do not describe location.
