In APCO 10-codes, 10-65 refers to "Net Message Assignment."
This code is used in communications among law enforcement, emergency services, or dispatchers to indicate that a message is being assigned to a specific unit or officer over the radio or data system.
For example, a communication might look like this:
- Dispatcher: "Unit 3, you have a 10-65 for a follow-up on the stolen vehicle report."
- Unit 3: "10-65 acknowledged. I’ll check the details."
The use of 10-65 helps streamline communication by clearly designating who is responsible for a particular message, ensuring that important information is properly assigned and acted upon in a timely manner.
