Which phrase designates a Coffee Break?

• A. Meal Break
• B. Coffee Break
• C. City Court
• D. County Court

Answer: (B)

In police radio communications, the terms used for pauses are chosen to be clear and unambiguous so responders know exactly what kind of break is being taken. The phrase that designates a Coffee Break is the one that literally communicates a short pause for coffee, making it instantly understood on the air.

This term is distinct from a Meal Break, which would imply a longer stop for a meal. The other two options, City Court and County Court, refer to judicial jurisdictions and have no relation to taking a break, so they wouldn’t convey any information about time off.

So the term that best designates a Coffee Break is the Coffee Break itself.
