If a unit requests a Funeral Escort, which code is used?

• A. 1059
• B. 1060
• C. 1062
• D. 1063

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that police radio codes include a specific label for requesting a funeral escort. This non-emergency service is communicated with its own designated code so dispatch and responding units know to organize and provide an escort along the funeral route, coordinate traffic, and keep the procession safe without treating it as an emergency.

Using the funeral escort code is the best choice because it clearly signals the exact service needed, avoiding confusion with other types of requests or emergencies. The other codes correspond to different tasks or statuses and would not convey that a funeral escort is being requested. In real use, you’d rely on your department’s code sheet to know the exact label for this service.
