Which description corresponds to code 403?

• A. Unknown Trouble
• B. Prowler
• C. Fire
• D. Suicide

Answer: (B)

Code 403 describes a prowler—the presence of a person seen or suspected lurking around a property, with potential intent to enter or cause property crime. This focuses on suspicious behavior around homes or businesses and prompts officers to respond with caution to protect the scene and verify security. The other descriptions refer to different types of emergencies (unknown trouble is too vague, fire is a fire emergency, and suicide involves self-harm crises), so they don’t fit the specific concern of a suspicious person near a property. When code 403 is heard, aim to determine location, observe for suspect description, secure the area, and respond to deter and investigate possible entry points.
