# Radio and Communication

1. **Radio Etiquette:** Use appropriate 10-codes. Avoid unnecessary chatter on the radio.
2. **Situational Awareness:** Officers should provide clear and concise updates during incidents to keep the department informed.
3. **Backup Requests:** Only request additional units when the situation demands it. Avoid unnecessary over-deployment.
