Code 78 corresponds to which incident?

• A. Abandoned Children
• B. Snatch Thief
• C. Lookout
• D. Stolen Vehicle In Progress

Answer: (C)

Code numbers are used on APD radios to quickly convey the type of incident and the expected action. Code 78 signals a Lookout, meaning officers should be on the lookout for a person or vehicle of interest and be ready to report sightings, provide descriptions, last known location, direction of travel, and any new information. This is a specific alert distinct from other incident types like Abandoned Children, Snatch Thief, or Stolen Vehicle In Progress, which would use different codes and corresponding actions. When Code 78 is announced, the focus is on monitoring for the target and sharing timely updates with the team to help locate or identify them.
