Thats what it meant for us anyway. I was a federal officer for Dept. Homeland Security. I heard some police radio traffic where the codes and were used. Is truly the universal code for Officer down? Can you let me know? I read the list you have published here on the site, but I see codes that are listed but mean different things here.
The other day i heard an officer run a background check on someone and I over heard dispatch say 32 red white but otherwise clear and the person was free to go. However, I have never heard this code before and cannot find it anywhere. It was a california University officer.
Any idea on this code i cant locate anything like that. It may be part of a coding system that is proprietary to California universities, or more than likely, to that particular university. Try remembering all the codes for Freeway Service Patrol in Cali. We have codes that start with 11 too. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

As far as we know the term originated back with telegraph operators and was one of many codes used by them. The origin of Q codes is also disputed. Others quote the source of Q codes a being adopted by the International Radiotelegraphic Convention in and later becoming the standard for international radio operators. Just like 10 codes, there are really only a couple of Q codes that are used on a regular basis.
QRO — Increase power. I know this because I was a kid at the time and my dad was into CB radio and it annoyed the hell out of him when we used to say "Breaker breaker" like that -: — hippietrail. My knowledge of CB is limited one can only learn so much from a Burt Reynolds movie and a novelty song. How do they say it? I know "just enough to be dangerous.

Is '' and 'Roger' the same in its imprecation? Yes, they both mean "message received and understood" and are sometimes confused with affirmative which means "yes".
