Which code indicates does not conform with rules and regulations?

• A. 10-4
• B. 10-44
• C. 10-23
• D. 10-20

Answer: (B)

Understand how police radio codes quickly convey status and actions. Among these codes, the one that flags a failure to conform with rules and regulations is a specific indicator used to signal a policy or procedural violation, prompting supervisory awareness or corrective action. This code is distinct from a simple acknowledgement (which confirms receipt of a message), a location report (where you are), or arrival status on scene (being there). Because it specifically communicates non-compliance with rules, it’s the best fit for signaling a disciplinary or regulatory issue. While codes can vary by agency, this one is typically reserved for flagging such non-conformance, in contrast to the others that indicate different, non-disciplinary statuses.
