Which radio code number corresponds to a fight?

• A. 1044
• B. 1045
• C. 1046
• D. 1047

Answer: (A)

Understanding how radio codes classify incidents helps responders prepare the right resources quickly. In this training set, a fight in progress is designated by the code 1044. When dispatch hears 1044, they know to alert back-up units, possibly request medical assistance, and approach with caution because a physical altercation is occurring. This single number conveys the scene type without lengthy narration, letting units gauge threat level and required equipment in real time. The other numbers in this set represent different scenarios, so they wouldn’t convey a fight. Keep in mind that real-world codes vary by agency, so always study the local code sheet for the department you are studying.
