Why identify the agency first?
A code number without its agency context can lead to the wrong interpretation. Do not use a general lookup to infer that someone is in danger, under arrest, or accused of a particular offense. Find the department's own published reference and check the surrounding context.
How to check a code not listed here
- Identify the department or communications center using the code.
- Look for its official communications reference.
- Check the version or ask its public information office for a public reference.
