How should units respond when facing a Code 99 situation?

In a Code 99 situation, units are required to respond with immediate emergency response due to the critical nature of the situation. A Code 99 usually indicates an officer in distress or a life-threatening scenario requiring urgent assistance. The priority in such instances is the safety of the officer and potentially civilians involved.

Responding immediately ensures that backup arrives quickly, allowing for a coordinated effort to manage the situation effectively. This response is crucial in maintaining order, mitigating any further risk, and providing immediate support to the officers in need. Units trained in handling such emergencies are expected to act swiftly and decisively to address the incident.

While checkpoint establishment, being out of service, or responding to a jailbreak can be necessary in different contexts, they do not align with the urgent requirements of a Code 99, making immediate emergency response the appropriate answer in this scenario.
