Which code is used for a fatality report?
Correct Answer:
10-40
Explanation:
Ten-codes for on-scene status are designed to convey critical information quickly. For a fatality, the code used is 10-40, which tells dispatch and responding units that a death has occurred and that a coroner, investigators, and proper scene security are needed. This keeps messages concise and ensures the right resources are mobilized promptly. The other options refer to different situations and wouldn’t communicate a fatality, so they don’t fit the purpose of reporting a death on scene.
