What does radio code 918 mean?

• A. Car Prowler or Clouter
• B. Go to Your Office
• C. Person Screaming for Help
• D. Drunk on Street

Answer: (C)

918 indicates a person screaming for help, signaling an immediate distress call that requires rapid, priority response to locate and assist the caller. This code flags a high-risk situation where someone is in danger and needs urgent help, so officers should respond quickly, assess safety, and provide aid or request medical assistance if needed. It’s not about a car prowler or a routine directive, and it’s not describing an intoxicated person on the street; those scenarios would be communicated with different codes.
