In Finland, police use a mix of plain language and radio codes for communication. While not as widely known or standardized as U.S. “10-codes,” these codes ensure concise, secure communication during both routine and emergency situations.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Code 100 | Major emergency – Requires an immediate response. |
| Code 200 | The armed suspect or dangerous individual. |
| Code 300 | Backup required. |
| Code 400 | Traffic incident or obstruction. |
| Code 500 | Suspicious package or potential bomb threat. |
| Code 600 | The officer needs assistance. |
| Code 700 | Medical assistance is required (ambulance). |
| Code 800 | Fire or environmental hazard. |
