Changing radio communications to plain speech


Derek!

Recommended Posts

What you want to see? - Moving away from the enforcement of 10 codes over to plain speech

Why should we add it? - Department interoperability so that various disciplines can effectively share information. 

What are the advantages of having this? - 10 Codes are not fully understood by everyone and change for every department so a 10 code for EMS can be different for State, Cert, ETC.

Who is it mainly for? - SWAT, Cert, SS, EMS, PD, State, DOC.

it adds realism the codes the only problem is I always use Australian ones so no one understands what I am saying due to when i say code 1 response im meaning code 3 in American terms so they all take there time. Half the time i do not use 10 codes as its not a big thing where i live we just tell our problems in a normal plain chat no fancy things.

I use them all the times when I’m on PD or Sheriffs or BSI/FBI I mean it’s not that hard to have a side tab open and look at them if your confused. 

-Support as 10 codes add realism and if people don’t know what they mean they can learn it’s not that difficult.

Really no point in "removing the 10 codes" you literally just should read through it once, alsalso if you use the codes it shows how good of an officer you are and increases your chances on getting promoted

I mean, when I firts looked at them I thouhgt 'I need to know that damn' but over the time playing you learn hearing them and reminding yourself what they mean and that is how I learned them, nothing hard about them just need to practice and use them.   -Support

You read them, you hear them, you learn them, as simple as 1,2,3 (Ha that just worked didn't plan it)

Adds realism and you should learn them because we all use the same 10 codes not different ones. We use them to add realism and to make communication short and sweet

People are saying it 10 codes add realism, however most local agencies no longer use ten codes at all, or don't use them in emergency situations, I remember a quote from a former sheriff who once said "If you're being shot at, you want to say your being shot at, not remember some code"

 

+Support (I support removing them all together, or remove them in emergency situations to add realism)

The 10 codes are not that hard, every department uses them, and this is an American server. ARU was removed as we feel it doesn't suit the theme, so by removing the 10 codes, you are just taking something that adds to the theme of the map. Yes, they are hard to remember but you have to use them. They are faster and for some people, easier.

Wow
