When is a 'Deputy Needs Help Urgently--District Cars Only' call typically used?

For coordinating patrol response
For a minor traffic incident
For critical assistance in high-risk situations
For normal shift changes

The correct answer is: For critical assistance in high-risk situations

The phrase 'Deputy Needs Help Urgently--District Cars Only' signifies a call for immediate and critical assistance required by a deputy in a high-risk situation. This type of call generally indicates that the deputy is in a dangerous or life-threatening scenario and needs rapid backup from nearby district units. It prompts an urgent response from officers in the vicinity to ensure the deputy's safety and to effectively manage the situation at hand. This urgency is distinct from other scenarios like coordinating routine patrol responses or managing less critical incidents such as minor traffic issues or shift changes, which do not require the same level of immediate and concentrated support from law enforcement units.
