About this app

11,500+ radio codes. 239 agencies. All 50 U.S. states. No signup.

📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• Police 10-codes (10-1 through 10-99) with full meanings — including 10-21 police phone codes, 10-4, 10-20, and more
• 11-codes, 100-codes, signals, and dispatch codes
• EMS and ambulance radio codes
• Fire department codes, fire alarm codes, and fire alarms

• Color codes, status codes, and emergency response codes
• Police signal meanings and police secret codes
• State-specific dialects — CHP, NYPD, LAPD, Texas DPS, Florida Sheriff, and more

🗺️ ALL 50 STATES, ONE APP
Every state department of public safety uses its own dialect of codes. We carry them all. Select your state, filter by your town, and find your local police, fire, EMS, and emergency codes & meanings — fast.

⚡ DESIGNED FOR FAST LOOKUP
• Instant search as you type
• Save your most-used codes for one-tap access
• Eight color themes including a night-patrol dark theme

• Browse by state, by agency, or globally across the entire database

👥 WHO IS IT FOR?

ℹ️ IMPORTANT — REFERENCE ONLY
This is a reference book — a glossary of police, fire, and EMS radio codes. The app does NOT include a live audio scanner, live police radio streaming, or real-time police communications. It pairs perfectly with any police scanner app you already use.

Police Scanner Radio Codes presents a list of real-life Police communication codes, which are great if you are an aspiring officer of law wishing to learn codes, or merely role-playing as one in an online video game. Nonetheless, the application exceeds in its job, going beyond as to give you Police codes from all states, as some are different. 4/5.

Amazing! Has in depth codes for a ton of counties and most states. Could we get signals and counties for VT tho? And a suggestion, maybe add a search inside each state for what a 10 code means(type 10-22 and it shows up with all the states meanings for it) Thanks!

Told me to check my connection, even though everything else was working fine. Couldn't reload or switch from Alabama.
