What does Code 3 indicate?

• A. Emergency response
• B. Urgent
• C. Request wants and warrants
• D. All secure

Answer: (A)

Code 3 means an emergency response with lights and sirens, treated as the highest-priority action to reach the scene as quickly as possible. This indicates a life-threatening or similarly critical situation where speed and visibility are essential. It’s more urgent than a non-emergency or routine response, which might be labeled differently and wouldn’t necessarily require lights and sirens. The other options don’t fit because they describe status or actions unrelated to an active, high-priority response—requests for warrants are a legal process, not a field response status, and “all secure” means the area is secured rather than actively responding to an incident.
