Which code indicates suicide?

• A. 912
• B. 909
• C. 913
• D. 908D

Answer: (C)

In this radio code system, there is a specific code reserved for self-harm situations. Using that code signals responders immediately that the incident involves suicide or an attempted suicide, which prompts a rapid, crisis-focused, and safety-conscious response from officers and medical personnel. It helps ensure the right resources—mental health support, backup for safety, and appropriate precautions—are dispatched right away. The other numbers correspond to different incident types and would not indicate a suicide call, so they wouldn’t communicate the same level of urgency or the specific need for crisis intervention.
