Which 10-code is used when a pickup of a person or item is necessary?

• A. 10-31 Pick Up
• B. 10-35 Major Crime Alert
• C. 10-40 Advise if Available
• D. 10-33 Emergency, Come Quick

Answer: (A)

When a unit needs to arrange transportation or retrieval, the 10-code used signals a pickup of a person or item: Pick Up. This code tells dispatch and other units that someone or something must be picked up and transported, such as bringing a suspect to the station or collecting evidence from a location. It’s a logistical request, not an emergency or alert. The other options don’t fit because they serve different purposes: Major Crime Alert is for broadcasting alerts about significant crimes, not arranging pickups; Advise if Available is a status check on resource availability; Emergency, Come Quick is an urgent call for immediate assistance.
