10-24 stands for Assignment completed, a police code abbreviation.
Code reporting that a call or assignment has been finished. In some agencies 10-24 instead signals an emergency or officer needing help.
Example: Unit 2 is 10-24, back in service.
Usage notes
Variation is extreme here: some departments use 10-24 for "trouble, send help." Officers moving between jurisdictions must learn the local meaning. Plain language eliminates this ambiguity.
