What is the police code for a high-speed chase?

The police code for a high-speed chase is identified as Code 3. This designation signifies that officers are responding to an emergency situation where rapid response is necessary, typically involving lights and sirens to alert other drivers and pedestrians. In the context of a high-speed chase, the urgency is heightened as officers must navigate traffic quickly to pursue a fleeing suspect.

In a high-speed pursuit, the risks are considerable, including the potential for accidents and the need for maintaining communication with dispatch and coordinating with other units. Therefore, the classification as Code 3 reflects both the intensity of the situation and the necessary protocols for safely managing the pursuit.

The other codes relate to different levels of urgency or situations, but they do not encapsulate the critical urgency and the need for an immediate, high-speed response required during a high-speed chase.
