In the same Code 10 set, what does HJ denote?

• A. Hostage situation
• B. Hazardous material
• C. Hijack
• D. Judicial inquiry

Answer: (C)

In the Code 10 set, two-letter codes are used to quickly label specific incident types so responders can understand the situation at a glance. The code HJ is used to indicate a hijack, making it immediately clear that the priority is a hijacking event and not something else. This is distinct from other possibilities like a hostage situation, which would use a different code, or hazardous materials, or a judicial inquiry, which each have their own codes. Using HJ helps dispatchers and responding units coordinate rapidly and appropriately for a hijack scenario. Note that exact mappings can vary by agency, but in this Code 10 set, HJ stands for Hijack.
