Contents.Alternative terminology In some agencies, Code 3 is also called a Hot Response. Code 1 is also called a Cold Response.Some slang may be used, such as 'Running Hot', or 'Running Cold'.Some departments may use the terms 'upgrade' and 'downgrade' as well. If a unit is responding to a call without lights or sirens (code 1), and the unit later needs to turn on lights and sirens (code 3), the term upgrade may be used. The term downgrade may be used in the opposite situation.A similar variation is to 'reduce' or 'increase code.'
For example, if there is a code 3 response to a situation, but the first units on scene have sufficient control of the situation, they may announce over the radio that responding units may 'reduce code.' In this example, to 'reduce code' would mean to continue responding, but at code 2, rather than discontinue altogether; to alert units to discontinue altogether—, because the suspect is in custody or there are already enough officers on scene—they would likely say they are 'code 4.' Some / agencies use Priority terms:. Priority 1 – Trauma/CPR. Priority 2 – Emergency. Priority 3 – Non-Emergency. Priority 4 – Situation Under Control.
Priority 5 –Other countries United Kingdom. This section does not any.
Unsourced material may be challenged and.Find sources: – ( January 2010) The use of lights and sirens is up to the individual police officer driving to the call. The nature of the call is an aggravating factor when deciding when to use them. Calls are graded by either the control room direct (in the case of emergency calls) or by some sort of first contact centre (nonemergency calls). Grading is effected by such factors as the use or threat of violence at the incident being reported. Even though the grading is done by the control room, officers can request an incident be upgraded if they feel in their judgement they are needed immediately. They can also request to downgrade an incident if they feel they cannot justify using emergency equipment like blue lights and sirens.There is no nationally agreed call grading system with a number of different systems being used across the UK and attendance times given the grade varies between forces, depending on how rural the county is.
For example, Suffolk Constabulary break down Grade A emergencies into further sub-categories of Grade A Urban and Rural, with Urban attendance times attracting a 15-minute arrival time and Grade A Rural attendance would attract a 20-minute arrival time.
