Which signal is for Robbery in Progress - Carjacking?

• A. Robbery in Progress - Residential
• B. Robbery in Progress - Carjacking
• C. Information to Officer
• D. Animal Call

Answer: (B)

The signal naming system is designed to convey the exact scenario of an active incident so responders can act quickly and appropriately. Robbery in Progress - Carjacking tells you there is an ongoing robbery that specifically involves stealing or taking a vehicle, so officers know to expect a vehicle, possibly armed suspects, and a need for a fast, vehicle-focused response. It’s different from Robbery in Progress - Residential, which points to a home-based robbery and a different scene dynamic. It isn’t just information to officers (that would be non-emergency or informational in nature), and it isn’t related to an animal call. The carjacking signal directly communicates the high-priority, vehicle-centered threat and guides how units should prepare and coordinate.
