Which code is used for a Missing Person?

• A. 418
• B. 415C
• C. 418A
• D. 419

Answer: (A)

Missing person calls are flagged with a specific 400-series code that starts the missing-person workflow—dispatch, officer assignment, and follow-up searches. The general Missing Person code is the one used for a standard report of someone unaccounted for, without additional qualifiers. That makes it the best fit when the prompt simply indicates a person is missing.

A subcode with a suffix is reserved for a particular subtype of missing person situations (for example, cases that are endangered or involve a specific at-risk category). Those details aren't provided here, so the general Missing Person code is the appropriate choice.

The other codes correspond to different incident types entirely, so they wouldn’t initiate the missing-person response.
