Which code corresponds to Homicide?

• A. Injured Officer
• B. Homicide
• C. Mentally Ill Person
• D. Suspicious Situation

Answer: (B)

When training with 400 codes, each code flags a specific incident type, and using the Homicide code marks a death investigation involving violence. This designation signals to dispatch and the homicide squad that the scene requires specialized response: securing the area, preserving evidence, coordinating with forensics, and conducting a focused murder investigation. It’s distinct from other codes that handle different situations—an Injured Officer code means medical aid and officer safety concerns, a Mentally Ill Person code directs crisis- or health-related response, and a Suspicious Situation code prompts assessment and investigation without an immediate fatality. The Homicide code ensures the appropriate resources and investigative priority are applied for a death likely resulting from foul play.
