Which code should be used when you need to delay or ignore a request?

• A. 10-22 Disregard
• B. 10-25 Contact
• C. 10-27 Driver's License Query
• D. 10-29 Check Records for Wanted

Answer: (A)

Disregard is the code used when you need to delay or ignore a request. It tells dispatch that the prior instruction should be set aside and no action should be taken, either because you can’t comply at the moment or the request is no longer needed. This helps prevent unnecessary effort and keeps the channel clear. The other options describe actions you would take if you were proceeding—contact someone, perform a driver's license query, or check records for a wanted person—rather than canceling or postponing a request.
