10-33 means clear the air. Emergency traffic only. For twelve hours, that traffic is yours.
Richardson 10-33 is an overnight competition built on current Texas law enforcement training standards. Ten scenarios, staged across the city, scored live by working officers, back to back from 6 PM to 6 AM. It's the most stacked night on the North Texas cadet calendar, and the teams that skip it spend the next year hearing about it.
A routine stop, until it isn't. Approach, contact, and control.
High-risk stop. Contact and cover, verbal commands, positioning.
Read the scene, build the contact, and make the right call.
Work it out. Plates, occupants, and everything that doesn't add up.
De-escalation and crisis response under Texas APOWW procedures.
Scene control and de-escalation under family violence response.
Respond, contain, search, and protect the scene.
Fast-moving call. Witnesses, suspect info, and the right response.
Detection, standardized field sobriety testing, and the arrest decision.
Rapid deployment under live, dynamic pressure. The night's final test.
Final lineup and assignments drop on the night of the event. Subject to change.
Ten scenarios are scattered across Richardson, and your advisor is driving you call to call all night. The drive between isn't downtime. It's the hunt. BOLOs are out there: a subject, a vehicle, a plate matching what just came over the radio. Roll up on one, call it in clean, and you unlock a side mission no other team gets. No map markers. No warning. No second chances.
Eyes on the street. A BOLO matches the traffic that just came over the air.
Report it clean. Location, description, the works. Just like the real thing.
You unlock a side mission no other team gets a shot at. Bank it before sunrise.
Roll into Richardson PD. Registration, waivers verified, advisor briefing.
Colors, welcome, and rules of engagement at HQ.

Times are tentative and finalized closer to the event date.
Richardson 10-33 is hosted by the Richardson Police Public Safety Cadets, a youth program building the next generation of public safety professionals through real training, mentorship, and competition. Richardson PD is home base. Check-in, opening, and awards all run from HQ, and the scenarios deploy across the city from there. The field is open to cadet and explorer posts across North Texas.
When it's 10-33, everyone else clears the channel.
