Other Types Of Codes
There are other types of codes used by Law Enforcement in communications including: Common local codes, crime codes, mobilization codes, assignment status codes, administration codes, 11-codes and final disposition codes. All of these codes use numbers, letters or a combination between the two. These codes are somewhat universal in the United States, though not every department use all of them. Smaller departments likely will use very few of them mainly because they do not have the busy, congested dispatch traffic that a bigger city might have.
