1222408 2011-08-11 10:22:00 The NZ police also have a few other codes, that follow a 1A template, eg 3T, 1K, etc. From memory some are;

1A alarm sounding (usually a house/car alarm)
1B bomb threat
1C suspicious persons/activity
1D domestic
1K intoxicated person/persons
1U and 1V traffic incident/collision
1X suicide

3T turnover (pulling over a car usually)

The range runs from 1 to 6 or 7, however only 1-4 are documented publicly.

They also have 4-digit numeric codes for various crimes/acts and K-series for job results. A very good list is available at www.b8s.co.nz . I wonder how often 2710 is used :banana

Can't do that anymore since the P.25 spec radios came in, it's all encrypted to the eyeballs with 3DES and AES.
