What code is used to indicate an Intoxicated driver?

• A. 1054
• B. 1055
• C. 1056
• D. 1057

Answer: (B)

In this radio code system, specific numeric signals are reserved to quickly convey exact situations to responders, so everyone knows how to respond without lengthy explanations. When a driver is suspected of intoxication, the code chosen communicates the need for a DUI-related stop and investigation, guiding dispatch and units to prioritize safety and appropriate actions. The code for an intoxicated driver is 1055. Using this signal immediately flags the situation as impaired driving, prompting the right level of response—such as stopping the vehicle, conducting sobriety checks, and coordinating additional units if needed. The other numbers in the set do not represent intoxicated driving, so they would miscommunicate the situation and could delay proper handling. Always verify your department’s current mappings, as codes can vary by agency.
