CODE 3 Response refers to which type of situation?

• A. Routine traffic stop
• B. Non-emergency assistance
• C. Immediate response to a life-threatening emergency or threats to Navy security
• D. Administrative inspection

Answer: (C)

CODE 3 means an immediate, high-priority response due to a life-threatening emergency or a direct threat to Navy security. When this code is active, responders use emergency lights and sirens and proceed with the fastest possible arrival at the scene because every second matters for saving lives or stopping a security danger. This urgent use of lights and sirens distinguishes CODE 3 from routine actions like a standard traffic stop or administrative inspection, which do not require such an immediate, high-priority response. Even so, officers still drive with safety in mind and follow dispatch directions while handling the situation.
