Security professionals across Canada utilize a radio communication system to properly and effectively protect private property and the general public on a daily basis.
The Association of Public Safety Communication Officials (APCO) 10 Codes system is the national standard for effective communication between security professionals when speed and accuracy in reporting situations is critical.
Developed for security professionals and other public safety workers, APCO 10 codes allow for workers to discretely share information while encoding the contents of a conversation and maintaining the highest level of privacy.
After successfully completing security guard training and becoming licensed, security guards working in the field are expected to be comfortable using the APCO system. Utilizing this system properly increases overall efficiency and reduces the chances of miscommunication important information.
The Canadian Academy of Guard Training’s industry-leading, online courses will teach security professionals how to properly implement 10 code calls into their working life.
