What does CODE 9 represent in police radio terminology?

Out for investigation
Out of service to eat
Pre-stop coordination
Fire alarm

The correct answer is: Pre-stop coordination

CODE 9 in police radio terminology is recognized as representing "Pre-stop coordination." This code is used as a communication tool among officers to ensure that they are prepared and coordinated before initiating a stop on a suspect vehicle or individual. Effective pre-stop coordination is critical for maintaining officer safety and ensuring that the approach is tactical and organized, reducing the risks associated with the stop. In contrast, other codes mentioned refer to different situations. For example, terms associated with being out for investigation, out of service to eat, or responding to a fire alarm indicate specific activities that officers may be engaged in but do not align with the defined meaning of CODE 9. The distinction is important for clarity and efficiency in police communication, especially during potentially dangerous situations.
