Police Code Guide is a focused reference project built to make police codes, 10-codes, radio signals, and statute shorthand easier to find and understand.

Many officers, recruits, and even trainers end up piecing together code references from outdated PDFs, scattered wiki pages, or agency-specific handouts. The goal of this site is to bring that information into a modern, mobile-friendly, organized format.

The initial focus is on:

State-by-state police codes and shorthand.
General 10-codes and radio communication concepts.
Common penal / statute sections that show up in reports.

This site is not an official publication of any law enforcement agency and is provided strictly as a reference and study tool.
