I think that's a good designation but why now when NIMS seems to prefer plain english to 10 codes.

[grumpyff 1,159]

10- codes are big in NYC, both PD and FD. Given the amount of radio traffic that goes out, it saves time. That and it is very rare that mutual is requested/needed. Both agencies are big enough toshift personnel/equipment as needed. Also helps dispatchers enter the info into the dispatching system.

The updates deal more with terms and stuff not so much as the 10-code numbers. The Feds did drop some of the requirments to get rid of 10-codes and is allowing them in some cases.
