Code 20 indicates which group?

Code 20 indicates which group?

• A. DWI
• B. Suspicious Vehicle/Person
• C. All Others Arson/Vandalism
• D. Vagrants

Answer: (D)

Numbers in code systems map to specific groups or types of calls. In this material, Code 20 designates vagrants. That makes it the best answer because the code-to-group mapping used here explicitly assigns vagrants to Code 20, whereas the other options refer to different offenses or descriptors that are assigned separate codes. So when you hear Code 20, the acronym points you to vagrants rather than DWI, a suspicious vehicle/person, or arson/vandalism. Remember that code sets can vary by agency, so always check the local code list for your department.
