Code 434 corresponds to which incident description?

• A. STOLEN PROPERTY
• B. ILLEGAL SHOOTING
• C. SEXUAL ASSAULT
• D. KIDNAP

Answer: (B)

In these codes, a numeric designation maps to a specific incident description. The code that represents illegal shooting is used when there’s gunfire or discharge of a weapon in a way that’s illegal or dangerous to people or property. That makes it the best match for describing such a scene, guiding responders to treat it as an active safety threat, secure the area, and search for witnesses or victims as needed. Stolen property, sexual assault, and kidnapping describe different crime types with their own codes. They don’t involve gunfire or illegal discharge, so they wouldn’t be labeled with the same code that signals illegal shooting.
