What does the "211S" code specifically refer to?

Robbery
Murder
Robbery Alarm—Silent
Kidnapping

The correct answer is: Robbery Alarm—Silent

The code "211S" specifically refers to a robbery alarm that is silent, indicating that an alarm has been triggered in a location where a robbery is occurring, but the alarm is not audibly alerting anyone on scene, likely to avoid alerting the suspect. This type of alarm allows law enforcement to respond discreetly to potential robbery situations where the victim or alarm system has an opportunity to alert authorities without escalating the threat to those inside. The definition of this code is part of a system that categorizes various incidents to streamline communication among law enforcement personnel. Knowing specific codes like "211S" helps officers differentiate between types of crimes and their associated alerts, which is crucial for an effective response. The other options represent different types of serious incidents but do not pertain to a silent robbery alarm. For instance, while robbery is a type of crime represented by the code "211," it does not specify the context of a silent alarm, which is why "211S" is more precise in this scenario.
