Introduction
The radio codes used in department communications is primarily
used to promote brevity over-the-air, rather than secrecy. There
are many listings of codes published over the internet, but the
primary purpose is to get you acquainted with the types of communications
you're bound to hear when monitoring in the State of Hawaii
Note: 10-15 Officer Needs Help is a standard 10-code used by
all law enforcement in the State of Hawaii. Officer Needs Help
means that the officer is in immediate personal danger "HELP!",
and requires all officers in the area to respond as quickly as
possible. While some code lists 10-15 as "Officer in Trouble",
the use of 10-15 should not be confused with "Officer Needs
Assistance."
