Signal 23 corresponds to which incident?

• A. Explosion
• B. Demented Person
• C. Disorderly Children
• D. Shots Fired

Answer: (C)

Understanding how signal numbers map to incident types is the key idea. Signal 23 is the code used when responding to disturbances caused by juveniles, i.e., Disorderly Children. This designation helps officers and dispatch categorize the call so the appropriate resources and approach (often crowd control or parental involvement) are used.

Why this fits best: the scenario describes a disturbance involving youths, not a hazardous event, a mental-health crisis, or an active gunfire situation. Those other scenarios belong to different signals tailored to explosions, demented persons, or shots fired, respectively. So the code for a juvenile disturbance is the correct match.
