Police Radio Codes – Emergency, Crime, Traffic And Support Practice Test

Which radio code number represents Deceased?

1074 1081 1079 1084

Correct Answer:

1079

Explanation:

In police radio coding, numbers are used to convey exact on-scene status quickly, with the digits organized so that a specific code corresponds to a particular condition. In this set, the number 1079 is the designation for Deceased. When dispatch or units hear that code, they know to initiate the appropriate response for a death scene—securing the area, notifying the medical examiner or coroner, and handling body removal and related procedures. The other numbers in this group represent different statuses in the same coding system, so they do not indicate Deceased. Remember that codes can vary by agency, so always refer to your department’s code sheet for the exact mappings.
