i live in southington, and i noticed the dont use code 2 or code 3......how do you know what they are saying when it comes to "codes"

[PoliceFireEMS]

Well first off, my parents are/were police officers with GPD, and I am an explorer who knows all the radio codes.

is code 3 only in the central and western states, or is code 20 department specific.?

[PoliceFireEMS]

Why using the siren and stopping vehicles ahead when turning right?

Maybe over there is code 20 but out here in west america is code 3

Different departments call it different things. In Memphis we don't use terms Code 3 or Code 20...we just say blue light n sirens lol. But Code 20, Code 3 are just different ways different departments use to mean blue lights and sirens. I know some just call it Emergency Mode.

There is no "universal" code system in the states. Every department is different, some use code 1-5 for response types, some use code 10-50, the service i work for in texas uses Priority 1-5 to determine response type.
