A resident complains about loud music and disruptive noise in the vicinity. Which call type is appropriate?

• A. Domestic Disturbance
• B. Meet Officer
• C. Noise Complaint
• D. Found Property

Answer: (C)

When residents report loud music and disruptive noise, the proper call type is a Noise Complaint. This category is used for reports about excessive or persistent noise that affects neighbors and the public, such as loud music, parties, or other disturbing sounds. It signals a response to assess the situation, determine whether the noise violates local ordinances, and take appropriate action like warning the party or issuing a citation if needed.

Why the other options don’t fit: Domestic Disturbance is for conflicts within a household or intimate-partner disputes, not a general neighborhood noise issue. Found Property is for items found by someone, not a disturbance or incident. Meet Officer is typically used to arrange a meeting or discuss an issue in person rather than a live or imminent noise disturbance requiring police dispatch.
