Which code means Out of Service?

• A. 1006
• B. 1007
• C. 1012
• D. 1013

Answer: (B)

Out of Service is a status that tells dispatch you’re not available for new assignments. In many agencies, the 1000-series codes convey a unit’s current status rather than actions on a call. The specific code that communicates being unavailable for dispatch is 1007. That direct signal prevents new calls from being assigned until you’re back in service. The other codes in the list reflect different statuses and do not indicate unavailability in the same way, so they wouldn’t be appropriate to signal that state.
