What does code 17 stand for?

• A. Community Meeting
• B. Contact
• C. Neighborhood Contact
• D. Burglary Residential

Answer: (B)

In this dispatch code set, numbers map to concise actions. Number 17 specifically means a routine contact with someone—essentially, the officer will reach out to or meet with a person to exchange information or follow up, rather than handling an active incident. This is why the correct option is “Contact.” The other descriptions describe events or crime types (a public gathering or outreach, or a burglary), which would be represented by different codes rather than a simple contact. So when you see code 17, expect a direct communication with a person.
