When a situation is described with "10-6C," what type of contact is being referenced?

In Nevada law enforcement communication, "10-6" typically refers to a type of contact or situation, and the addition of "C" indicates a specific context. A "10-6C" designates a field contact, which involves an officer interacting with an individual in a public setting rather than during a traffic stop or at a residence. This type of contact may occur during patrols or while officers engage with citizens for various reasons, such as providing assistance, gathering information, or responding to community needs.

This classification assists officers in relaying information about their activities and statuses while on duty, enabling efficient communication and coordination within the law enforcement community. Understanding these codes is essential for personnel in maintaining clarity and ensuring public safety during their operations.
