Ten four?

0 I heard a lot of "Ten four's" from cops in movies, but when I asked many people (including one retired L.A.P.D. officer) what it means, they couldn't give me a confirmed answer. The latest one I got was that it means "Copy that!". Is this one corret? Can anyone tell me the origin of "ten four"? Thanks a million! 0-
