A 10-7 police code generally means "Out of Service." This indicates that the officer or unit is not available to respond to calls. It could mean the officer is taking a break, attending to personal matters, or otherwise unavailable. Variations of the 10-7 code include:
- 10-7A: Out of service at home (not on duty, at residence)
- 10-7B: Out of service personal (attending to personal issues)
- 10-7D (or 10-70): Out of service off duty
This code helps communicate that the officer is unavailable for assignments or calls during that time. It is a commonly used police radio code across various departments with slight regional variations in usage.
