Code 6 indicates which status for a unit?

• A. Arrived
• B. Known Offender
• C. Disregard
• D. En Route

Answer: (D)

Understanding unit status codes on the radio helps coordinate responses quickly. Code 6 specifically indicates that the unit is en route to a location or to a call. It tells the dispatcher and other units that the officer is in transit and not yet on scene, so expect arrival planning and time estimates once they reach the destination.

This fits best because the term en route directly describes movement toward the assignment. Arrived would be used once the unit has reached the location, Disregard would signal canceling instructions, and Known Offender refers to information about a person rather than the unit’s travel status.
