What is the police code for an officer needing assistance?

The police code for an officer needing assistance is often referred to as "Code 3." This code signals an urgent request for help and typically indicates that an officer is in a situation that may require immediate support. It is commonly used in many jurisdictions to alert other officers to respond quickly with lights and sirens.

In contrast to Code 3, the other codes mentioned serve different purposes. "10-20" is commonly used to ask or indicate a location, while "23152" usually relates to DUI (driving under the influence) violations, and "10-11" often refers to a traffic stop or traffic violation. Therefore, utilizing Code 3 in an emergency context accurately conveys the urgency of the officer's need for assistance.
