A welfare check is requested.

A welfare check is requested.

• A. 418 Civil matter-stand by
• B. 900 Check welfare
• C. 487 Theft
• D. 601 Missing person

Answer: (B)

A welfare check centers on confirming someone’s safety and well-being. In dispatch terms, the action you call for is “Check welfare.” This directly communicates to responders that their task is to verify that the person is safe, not to pursue a crime or handle a civil issue. The other options describe different incident types—civil stand-by, theft, or a missing person—and don’t match the request to assess whether someone is alright. So the best fit for a welfare-check request is the option that specifies “Check welfare.”
