Which incident type is used when a person is shot?

• A. Larceny - Gas Drive Off
• B. Larceny - Pickpocket
• C. Person Stabbed
• D. Person Shot

Answer: (D)

When reporting an incident, use the category that matches what actually happened. If a person was shot, the incident type should be labeled as a person shot. This tells responders and the system that the primary issue is a firearm injury, guiding the right police and medical resources to the scene and ensuring accurate records. The other options represent different situations: theft-related incidents (larceny, gas drive-off, pickpocket) or a stabbing. They describe crimes or injuries different from a gunshot, so they wouldn’t accurately reflect the event.
