What does code 35 stand for?

Welfare check Affray in progress Alarm call Nature call

Correct Answer:

Alarm call

Explanation:

Code 35 designates an alarm call, meaning dispatch is responding to an alarm activation at a location and officers are sent to verify whether it’s a legitimate alarm or a false alarm. This type of call focuses on alarm systems—burglar, fire, panic, or similar signals—so the officers’ primary task is to check the scene and ensure safety. It’s different from a welfare check, which is about confirming someone’s well-being; from an affray in progress, which signals an ongoing fight; and from a nature call, which would refer to a different, non-alarm incident. In this test’s coding scheme, alarm call is the assigned code 35, making it the best match.
