Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well.

 

Yesterday I was playing LSPDFR when a call came over the radio, and dispatch said "Respond Code 1".  I have never heard that before. What does it mean?

 

BTW: I did Google but couldn't all I pretty much got was "Code 1 or Cold Response".

Code 1 is a non emergency type of call.  For example, the officer will head that way when they have the time.  They usually will respond but its on the officers and the departments time.  I have seen a Code 1 response as little as 5 minutes and as long as HOURS!  Most officers will not go with lights and sirens, they usually obey all traffic and just get there when they can.

When i listen to the LAPD scanner I sometimes hear dispatch say the units ID number followed by CODE 1.  LAPD Code 1 is where a unit isn't responding to the dispatcher so dispatch says Code 1 meaning Answer Your Radio.  1-L-18 Code 1.  Respond to dispatch 18.  Sometimes another unit that is with the unit that isn't responding will tell dispatch that the unit they are trying to reach is....  So at least dispatch knows what is going on with the unit.  I've heard Code 1 repeated every few seconds over and over for a couple minutes.  Then a supervisor gets involved.  Code 1 seems to mean a couple different things with different agencies.
