What is the meaning of code 10-100?

• A. Bomb Threat
• B. Need Assistance
• C. Blockade: Set Up Roadblock
• D. Bank Alarm

Answer: (A)

Code 10-100 signals a bomb threat. This is a high-priority emergency that calls for immediate, specialized action: alerting bomb-handling units, establishing a secure perimeter, coordinating evacuations if needed, and communicating with supervisors and other responders as quickly as possible. In the 10-code system, specific numbers map to distinct incidents to convey urgent information efficiently, so this particular number is reserved for bomb threats in the practice set. The other scenarios describe different types of incidents that use their own codes, so they don’t fit this code.
