What does code 40 stand for?

• A. En route home
• B. En route to district
• C. Dog bite
• D. Nature call

Answer: (B)

Code 40 signals that you are en route to the district. This kind of 10-code is used to convey your current status and destination quickly over the radio, keeping dispatch and other units updated without lengthy messages. In this practice set, the mapping for code 40 is specifically “en route to district,” so saying it informs everyone that you’re on the way to the district assignment rather than being at home, headed somewhere else, on a medical call, or dealing with a dog bite. Keep in mind that exact mappings can vary by agency, but for this context, en route to the district is the intended meaning.
