Which code represents a prowler?

• A. 906
• B. 921
• C. 928
• D. 962

Answer: (B)

Understanding radio codes and what they represent lets you convey quickly what you’re dealing with. A prowler is coded as 921 in many agencies' code sets. This code signals a suspicious person in the area, often near properties or attempting entry, and it prompts a cautious, perimeter-aware response. Among the options, 921 matches the prowler scenario, so it is the best choice. The other numbers correspond to different incidents and do not describe a prowler, so they don’t fit. If you work in a different agency, verify your local code book, but for this question 921 is the prowler code.
