Which code signifies En Route?

• A. 10-17
• B. 10-20
• C. 10-44
• D. 10-23

Answer: (A)

In police radio language, short status codes quickly tell everyone where a unit stands in relation to a call. En route describes the moment you’re traveling toward the dispatched location or to the scene—you're in transit, not yet there. This status is the clearest way to communicate your movement toward the destination, which helps the dispatcher allocate resources, anticipate needs, and keep the incident timeline accurate. The other statuses describe different moments: you might be indicating your current location, or that you have arrived on scene, or that you’re in a different phase of the response. Since the question is specifically about being on the way to the call, the en route status is the best fit.
