Which code number represents 'Improper use of Radio'?

• A. 10-27
• B. 10-28
• C. 10-30
• D. 10-21

Answer: (C)

The idea behind this code is to flag when the radio is being used inappropriately, to keep airwaves clear for real emergencies. 10-30 is the code that signals improper or unnecessary radio transmissions. When officers chatter on the radio for nonessential updates or flood the channel with information that isn’t needed for the current incident, this code helps supervisors recognize the issue and address it to prevent interference with critical communications. The other options relate to different routine functions or information requests and don’t indicate misuse of the radio, so they aren’t used to flag improper radio usage.
