What does the code 919 refer to?

  1. Keep the peace

  2. Misdemeanor suspect

  3. Abandoned vehicle

  4. Citizen holding felony suspect

The correct answer is: Keep the peace

The code 919 refers specifically to "keep the peace." This code is commonly used by law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, to request assistance in situations where there may be a potential conflict or where disturbances are occurring but no crime has been directly committed. The "keep the peace" call can be initiated in various scenarios, such as during disputes between neighbors, domestic issues, or public disturbances, where the presence of law enforcement can help to de-escalate the situation and ensure safety without necessarily taking enforcement action. The other choices do not accurately represent the meaning of 919. For instance, a code specifically pertaining to misdemeanor suspects or abandoned vehicles would have different designations. Therefore, understanding the context of code 919 within law enforcement communication underscores its role in community safety and conflict resolution.
