Which code indicates emergency assistance for officers?

• A. 11-99
• B. 10-21
• C. 10-85
• D. 10-97

Answer: (A)

When police radio codes are used, there is one that explicitly signals urgent help for an officer in danger. This code is reserved for emergencies and immediately tells responders that an officer needs rapid backup. It prompts a high-priority, rapid deployment of all available units and supervisors to the scene. The other codes in this set are for non-emergency purposes: they cover routine communications like making a phone contact or providing status updates (for example, en route or at the scene), which do not convey an immediate distress call. Because it conveys the explicit need for urgent officer assistance, this code is the correct choice.
