Which code corresponds to Observation Category?

• A. Code 10-66
• B. Code 10-67
• C. Code 10-68
• D. Code 10-75

Answer: (A)

Observation means watching a situation closely to gather information and decide what to do next, without immediate intervention. In Ontario police 10-code conventions, the code that represents this mode of operation is 10-66. Using this code signals to dispatch and fellow officers that you are in surveillance mode—monitoring, noting details, and preparing for possible steps—rather than taking direct action right away. The other codes are used for different tasks or statuses, such as active response or requesting assistance, so they do not indicate observing. Therefore, the code that best fits Observation Category is 10-66.
