[Scan-DC] what is a 'Code 1 assist?

Sat Jan 24 23:20:50 EST 2009

Someone already clarified the code 2 vs code 1 for DC, thanks for  that.

Montgomery County stopped using 10 codes and most other codes in 06  or 07, 
cant remember which. Supposedly this was done as a homeland security  
initiative so that cooperation between agencies would be smoother and easier to  
understand for everyone.

All I know is, a code 3 response in Montgomery  County was/is lights and 
sirens.

At the end credits of the show COPS  there is some radio traffic they have 
used since the first episode I believe.  Anyway part of the traffic is 
Officer: I've got him at gunpoint.
Dispatcher: Roger gunpoint, covers  Code 3.

I believe the early days of COPS was in Broward, FL

In a message dated 1/24/2009 10:26:02 P.M. Eastern Standard Time,  
djoneses at verizon.net writes:
In the USPP there are two types of  incidents/activities; a code 1 and a code
2.  One, and I don't remember  which, requires a written report and the other
does not -- it is just  logged.  So let us assume that the Code 1 is a report
writing  type.  So the officer would ask the dispatcher for a case  number
(actually a Case Incident Number for Case Incident Report or 343 form  -- the
report form) and in this case the incident was an Assist to Other  Department
or just "assist" for brevity.  So the conversation would be  something like
this:

Officer:  "Car 213"
Dispatcher: "Car  213"
Officer: "Can I have a time and number for a code one assist at 123 and  the
parkway, location code 2109." [The location code goes on the CIR  form.]
Dispatcher:  Car 213, carry the number 1234 at 1435  hours."
Officer: "Car 213, 1234 at 1435.  I'll be 10-8 enroute to the  sub[station]."

Hope this helps.

This is why a Uniform Code should be required.  Each state and within some 
states, some cites have their own traffic  codes.  DC is different than the 
State of California and the State of  Oregon and Washington. DC seems to 
stand alone - away from just about every  other State in the Union......... 
which makes no sense.  Even the  use/number of "white lights" within a 
cluster of emergency lights can be  different for the DC government. Ask any 
of the national mfgr's, i.e..,  Federal Lighting, etc., and the others!  If 
DC would fall into line  with the surrounding jurisdictions, purchasing costs

would drop and the  taxpayers would be the winner!
