In APCO 10-codes, 10-45 refers to "Injured person."
This code is used by law enforcement or emergency responders to indicate that there is a person who has been injured and may require medical attention.
For example:
- Officer: "Dispatch, we have a situation with an injured person; it's a 10-45."
- Dispatcher: "Copy that. Are medical units required?"
The use of 10-45 allows for efficient communication regarding the urgency of the situation, prompting the necessary emergency medical services to respond promptly.
