A report of a non-emergency parking violation should use which signal?

• A. Illegal Drugs
• B. Animal Call
• C. Illegal Alcohol
• D. Illegal Parking

Answer: (D)

The main idea is to match the incident to the appropriate signal so the call is categorized correctly and routed to the right unit. For a non-emergency parking violation, you use the signal that flags parking issues. That keeps the report in the correct category and avoids pulling in units for unrelated problems.

Choosing a signal tied to drugs, animals, or alcohol would misclassify the call. Those signals are reserved for drug activity, animal-related concerns, or alcohol-related offenses, not for parking violations. Using the parking signal communicates a non-urgent matter and directs the right resources—such as parking enforcement or the appropriate traffic unit—to handle the issue.
