Which radio code number is used to meet a complainant?

• A. 1049
• B. 1044
• C. 1045
• D. 1046

Answer: (A)

In police radio codes, each number corresponds to a specific action or status, so dispatch can convey exact instructions quickly. A code that means to meet the complainant is telling the officer to arrange to meet the person who filed the report—either on scene or at a designated location—to gather information firsthand or take a statement. This instruction is the best fit for a scenario where the report needs direct interaction with the complainant to proceed.

The other codes point to different tasks or responses and wouldn’t convey the instruction to meet the complainant, which is why they don’t fit this situation. To study effectively, focus on building a clear map in your mind (or on your notes) that links each code to the exact action it represents, so you can recall the intended procedure quickly under pressure.
