What does code 910 indicate?

• A. Prowler Outside
• B. Suspicious Person
• C. Suicide
• D. Phone Office (Or As Directed)

Answer: (A)

In this code set, each number is a shorthand for a specific type of incident, guiding responders on what to expect and where to focus their resources. The number 910 is used to signal a prowler outside, meaning someone is suspected to be loitering or attempting entry around the exterior of a property.

So, when 910 is called, officers should prioritize perimeter checks—yards, fences, alleys, doors and windows on the outside of the building—and coordinate to secure the exterior, call for additional units if needed, and gather information about the location and any suspicious activity. This distinguishes it from other situations like a person reported as suspicious (which would map to a different code), a suicide, or a non-emergency task like "Phone Office." The emphasis with 910 is on potential exterior intrusion, prompting action focused on the outside of the property.
