Which code corresponds to a Missing Person?

• A. 1064 Radar
• B. 1065 Missing Person
• C. 1066 Runaway
• D. 1070 Burglary

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is recognizing the dispatch code that specifically identifies a Missing Person. In a police radio code system, there is a distinct label for Missing Person, and using that exact code signals responders to treat the call as an inquiry into a person who is unaccounted and may need welfare checks, alerts, and a search as appropriate. This makes the response more targeted and timely than others.

Why this is the best choice: the Missing Person code is designed precisely for incidents where a person is unaccounted for and may be at risk. Using the exact designation ensures the incident is logged correctly, prioritized appropriately, and routed to the right units for search, notification of family or guardians, and public alerts if needed. It separates this from other types of calls that involve property crimes or other non-person-focused situations.

Why the other options don’t fit: one option represents a different category entirely (a radar-related or traffic-related designation that doesn’t involve a person missing), another option is for a Runaway (typically a juvenile who left home by choice with its own protocol), and the last is Burglary (a crime against property). Each of these describes a separate incident type, so they wouldn’t be used to indicate a Missing Person.
