What is indicated by the code 905-L?

The code 905-L indicates that there is an animal loose. This code is used by law enforcement and animal control agencies to quickly communicate that an animal is unrestrained and potentially creating a hazard or concern for public safety. Animals that are loose can pose risks, such as causing traffic accidents, threatening public safety, or needing to be captured for their own well-being.

Understanding the meanings of different codes is essential for effective communication among law enforcement personnel. The other choices represent scenarios involving animals that are either being treated, exhibiting concerning behavior, or are in distress, but they do not specifically denote the situation of an animal being unrestrained or roaming freely, which is addressed by the code 905-L. This clarity allows responders to prioritize necessary actions and deploy resources accordingly.
