What code represents Affirmative (OK)?

• A. 10-4
• B. 10-17
• C. 10-20
• D. 10-44

Answer: (A)

In police radio communication, confirming that a message has been received and understood is essential for clear, quick coordination. The code that represents an affirmative or OK acknowledgment is 10-4. It’s a simple, universally recognized way to say “I heard you and I understand, I’ll comply.” This keeps exchanges short and unambiguous in busy or high-stakes situations. Other codes are used to relay different information—such as location, status, or actions needed—and aren’t intended to serve as a plain acknowledgment, so they wouldn’t be used to signify that the message was received.
