Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) RADIO Practice Exam

What radio code indicates that an ambulance is needed?

1. 901N

2. 902

3. 901S

4. 902H

The correct answer is: 901N

The radio code that indicates an ambulance is needed is 901N. This code specifically refers to a non-emergency medical situation where an ambulance is required to transport an individual due to medical needs that are not life-threatening but still necessitate professional medical assistance. The other codes often have different meanings. For instance, 902 generally indicates a medical emergency but is not specific to whether the situation requires an ambulance. The 901S code pertains to a situation where a deceased person has been found, indicating a need for coroner's assistance rather than an ambulance. In contrast, 902H usually refers to a hospital call, which may be related to transporting individuals to a healthcare facility but does not specifically denote an ambulance requirement. Thus, 901N clearly specifies that an ambulance is needed for non-critical medical issues.
