subject: 10-Codes & More

As requested, here is *A* list of 10-Codes and other assorted info.
This list was compiled from data from several different sources in the Los 
Angeles area, and I have tried to make sure that it is as complete as 
possible, and that the info is correct.
If you are in the Paramount/Compton/Long Beach/Bellflower area and like to 
listen to police activity, you will find that with the aid of this list, you 
will be rarely left in the dark...
The list will be divided up into several replies to this message.
