Code 13 corresponds to which status?

Code 13 corresponds to which status?

• A. Out of service (personal)
• B. Traffic stop
• C. Special information/assignment
• D. Meet an officer/backup

Answer: (C)

Code 13 signals that there is special information or an assignment that needs attention beyond routine status. In radio communications, this code is used when you have unique instructions, details, or a specific task to handle that doesn’t fit into the standard categories. That makes it the best fit for conveying non-ordinary information or duties that require coordination, rather than simply being unavailable, actively stopping a vehicle, or meeting another officer. When Code 13 is used, it means you should expect additional details from dispatch and follow through with the assigned task or information.
