When a dispatcher receives a call that requires further transmission from a unit, which code can be used to relay this message?

10-2
10-5
10-7
10-8

The correct answer is: 10-5

The code used to relay the message when a dispatcher receives a call that requires further transmission from a unit is 10-5. This code is specifically utilized to signify that a received message needs to be relayed to another unit or to indicate that the communication should be passed along. 10-5 helps streamline communication in emergency situations, ensuring that critical information is efficiently shared with the appropriate responders. The other codes, while part of the ten-codes used in law enforcement communication, are assigned different meanings. For instance, 10-2 is used to indicate that the signal is strong, 10-7 is used to signify that the unit is out of service, and 10-8 means the unit is back in service. Knowing these distinctions is essential for effective communication within emergency response operations.
