Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Just wondering what if any code is used to communicate on-scene fatalities to your communication centers. We used " 10-50 " in areas I have worked in the past unfortunatly that is 10 code for MVC at most every other place I have been so currently we ask for the JP and that is " code " for death on-scene just wondering how others do it around the state? -Chris Sorry for the spelling and punctuation this was typed on tge tiny keyboard on my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
