Code 34 corresponds to which incident?

• A. Suicide
• B. Terrorist Incident
• C. Abandoned Child
• D. Street Blockage

Answer: (A)

Two-digit radio codes are shorthand for the type of incident, so responders know what they’re walking into and what resources to bring. In this system, the code 34 is the designation used for a suicide call. That makes it the best match because the code’s assignment is specifically for suicide, signaling officers to approach with caution, secure the scene, coordinate EMS, and involve crisis intervention or mental health resources as needed. Other types of incidents—like a terrorist incident, an abandoned child, or a street blockage—have different codes, so they wouldn’t be indicated by 34.
