Oakland Police Department 900 Radio Codes Practice Test

What does radio code 918 mean?

Person Screaming for Help Drunk in Auto Go to Your Office Go to Communications Division

Correct Answer:

Person Screaming for Help

Explanation:

Radio codes are shorthand used to convey situations quickly and unambiguously. When 918 is spoken, it signals a person who is screaming for help and in immediate distress, calling for rapid, high-priority response. Responders would prioritize locating the caller, ensuring scene safety, and providing aid or backup as needed. The other phrases describe different scenarios—a person who is drunk in a vehicle is a separate condition that requires attention but not the same urgent distress signal, while directions like going to an office or to the communications division are administrative commands rather than live distress reports.
