What does the radio code 10-24 signify?

• A. Disregard
• B. Assignment completed
• C. Arrived
• D. Report to

Answer: (B)

In radio communications, codes like ten-twenty four are used to convey status quickly. Ten-twenty four means the assigned task is completed and the unit is available for a new assignment. This matters because it clearly tells the dispatcher the officer can be reallocated or released from the scene without further instructions. After finishing a job, officers typically update dispatch with this code to close that task and move on. Other options don’t fit the standard usage: arriving is usually indicated by a different status (on scene), while the others are not used to signal completion. Always confirm with your agency’s specific code sheet, since local variations exist.
