What does the code 916C represent?

  1. Citizen holding misdemeanor suspect

  2. Officer holding felony suspect

  3. Suspicious vehicle

  4. Missing person

The correct answer is: Citizen holding misdemeanor suspect

The code 916C is a specific code used by law enforcement to indicate that a citizen is holding a misdemeanor suspect. This code serves as a quick reference for dispatchers and officers to understand the situation being reported. When a civilian observes a misdemeanor offense taking place and takes it upon themselves to detain the suspect until law enforcement arrives, this code is utilized to convey that information succinctly. Understanding this code is crucial for effective communication within the department and ensures that responding officers are aware of the circumstances they are approaching, including the involvement of a civilian in the situation.
