Which code is associated with an insane person?

918V
919
920
916A

The correct answer is: 918V

The code associated with an insane person is 918V. This designation is used in law enforcement to indicate a situation involving individuals who may be experiencing severe mental health crises or are perceived to be a danger to themselves or others due to a mental condition. The use of this code helps dispatch and responding officers to identify and respond appropriately to incidents involving mental health issues, ensuring that the necessary resources, such as mental health professionals, can be mobilized to handle the situation effectively. Understanding this code is important for officers as it guides their approach to interactions with individuals who may require specialized intervention rather than traditional law enforcement procedures, fostering a more compassionate and informed response.
