Reply With QuoteThe following is a combined list of those radio codes used by the
majority of the police departments in the San Francisco Bay area. Each
agency also has codes that are unique to that agency's particular task.
In addition to these codes, there are the California Penal Code
sections used by police officers and dispatch. For example, a "415 -
Family" refers to a family disturbance. Section 415 of the California Penal
Code is entitled "Fighting, noise, offensive words" and is commonly termed
as `disturbing the peace.' A list of the most often used California Penal
Code sections is found at the end of this document.
