It's no secret that the state of Alabama is enthusiastic - to say the least - with college football.

With that in mind, the Pleasant Grove Police Department is making a change to its established "10 Codes." The codes are a universal language for many police departments, and perhaps the best-known is "10-4," which simply means "yes, I understand your message."

Starting Saturday, Pleasant Grove officers will dispense with the regular use of "10-4", and instead substitute it with "Roll Tide" or "War Eagle" to acknowledge routine radio traffic.

"The obsession and excitement that college football has on this state is not lost on us,'' said Lt. Danny Reid. "We thought it would be fun to be a part of that passion and to let officers, who are stuck having to work on game days, express a little team spirit."

Reid estimates officers use the "10-4" code 80 to 100 times a day. That is a lot of team spirit.

"I'm just glad we don't have any Georgia or Tennessee fans. I don't think we would have approved any 'Go Vols' or 'Go Dawgs,'" he said. "That would just be criminal."
