What does a 1084 code on police scanner mean?

Answer 1

A 1084 code on a police scanner typically refers to a situation involving a person who is mentally unstable or emotionally disturbed. This code is often used by law enforcement to alert officers to approach the situation with caution and to be prepared to handle potential risks associated with interacting with individuals experiencing mental health crises. It is important for officers to exercise empathy, de-escalation techniques, and potentially involve mental health professionals to ensure a safe and appropriate resolution to the situation.

Answer 2

Well, honey, a 10-84 code on a police scanner typically means "Estimated Time of Arrival." So, if you hear that code, it's just the cops letting each other know when they expect to roll up to the party. Just remember, it's not an invitation for you to start causing trouble before they get there!

Answer 3

a code 1084 means 2 things: 10 designates that the unit requesting the dispatch is a police officer, and 84 means all units available nearby (within a set radius) respond to deadly (or will be soon) situation. usually not used unless a suspect is either armed and resisting custody or fleeing the scene and personnel is needed.

If you listen to the scanners sometimes you will also hear the call for 1584 whereas the 15 means EMT instead of the 10 given to police personnel.

I hope this answers your question. ;D
