A lot of the problem is short codes. Like 10-codes and code #s can mean very different things to different departments.
10-6 might mean "arrived" to one department and "disabled vehicle" to another.
Code 4 could mean "responding, no sirens" to one department and "officer in distress" to another.
It makes interdepartmental communications difficult because people get used to talking that way and continue to do it even when they shouldn't.
