Which code indicates Response Team Activation?

• A. 45
• B. 46
• C. 46A
• D. 42

Answer: (A)

Response Team Activation is the signal that calls in a specialized rapid-response unit for a high-risk or critical incident. This code triggers a coordinated marshal of the Response Team, getting members staged, briefed, and ready to engage as needed while other units provide support. It’s distinct from codes that only convey routine status, scene safety, or incident progression because its sole purpose is to mobilize and organize the dedicated team quickly.

In practice, this activation helps ensure a focused, controlled response to dangerous situations—barricades, active threats, high-risk warrants—by establishing clear mobilization and accountability. The other codes on the list point to different actions or statuses and do not initiate the Response Team.
