Most Police departments or agencies will use that same 10 or 11 codes nationwide. But some do use their own codes that are different from other departments, which could make it confusing or in some cases dangerous for other Officers from different departments.

The code your refering to is the 10-50 code which could mean "car accident" or for example, "the suspect just 10-50'd into the brick wall on H street". The 10-50 code could also mean "under influence of drugs". So it really depends on what the local department uses, you could also do a search on Google or Yahoo for example, "list of police codes for Wisconsin state Police", or "list of police codes for the Green Bay Police department".

Here is also a good link that list codes most widely used across the States.
