Which code stands for Coffee Break?

• A. 1008
• B. 1011
• C. 1006
• D. 1012

Answer: (B)

In police radio communication, codes are shorthand signals used to convey fast, clear statuses. A Coffee Break is a standard status that tells dispatch and teammates you’re stepping away for a short time without discussing details. In this code set, the code that maps to Coffee Break is the one you’d use to indicate that brief pause. That direct mapping makes it the best fit, because it communicates exactly the intended status—taking a quick break—so others can cover duties as needed. The other codes represent different duties or conditions and do not indicate a break, so they wouldn’t communicate this specific pause. Remember to use the designated break code consistently in your department.
