What does CODE 6 indicate in radio communications?

  1. Out for investigation

  2. Out of service to eat

  3. Possible ambush. Use caution.

  4. Fire alarm

The correct answer is: Out for investigation

CODE 6 in radio communications is used to indicate that an officer is "Out for investigation." This means that the officer is actively engaged in investigating a situation or incident, and they are informing dispatch or other personnel that they are not available for other calls as they are focused on their current assignment. This code helps systematize communication among officers and dispatchers, ensuring that everyone is aware of the officer's status and location without needing a lengthy explanation. The use of code signals like CODE 6 aids in maintaining brevity and clarity in communications during potentially volatile situations while keeping the operational flow smooth for other responding units. Understanding these codes is crucial for effective situational awareness among law enforcement personnel.
