Uh oh. A customer puked and you need to avoid a Vomit Chain Reaction. Or perhaps you've just spotted a disgruntled ex-employee walking in the doors carrying a semi-automatic. Maybe there's a fire in the building, but you don't want to evacuate just yet. Fortunately, you have a pre-arranged code for just such an emergency and you can put out a message that will alert your co-workers to the situation while leaving your customers none the wiser! This is of course Truth in Television, although in practice some of the most ubiquitous codes (such as "Mr. Sands" for a fire in a theatre) are well-known enough to make them useless for their original purpose, mainly due to people posting exhaustive lists online. See also: Code Silver. A subtrope of Trouble Entendre and Public Secret Message. Compare Police Code for Everything, where a convoluted scenario is described by a short numerical code. Related to Covert Distress Code, where it's the bad guys you don't want to alert. |

Aside from the '10-codes', police also have a series meant to tell them how to respond to a call. These were mostly made famous by Adam-12 which made the Los Angeles system famous. For example, Code 2 meant to respond with due speed but without lights and sirens, Code 3 meant do use lights and sirens, Code 4 meant no more need for assistance, etc. Ambulance crews use a similar system, but in reverse. It runs from Priority 1 (lights and sirens) to Priority 3 (non-emergent). A "Priority 4" exists in some jurisdictions for scene calls involving deceased patients; a physician is called to pronounce the time of death over the radio, and the call proceeds as any non-emergency event. |

Vexxarr, from the webcomic of the same name, at one point decides to create a color code system to try to quantify the craziness aboard his ship. Although he never gets around to it, that doesn't stop his crew from taking the idea and running with it. For instance, "Technology That Can't Possibly Function is Functioning" would be indicated by Code "Houndstooth tinged in chartreuse." | |

On Kings Silas' staff has a "code for when [he takes] too long in the bathroom". This is a funny reference to the Biblical story where an Israelite assassin was able to escape because all of the guards and servants assumed that the king (whom he has just killed) was simply taking his time in the bathroom. |

Grant Imahara mentioned behind the scenes of MythBusters that when they enlisted the help of the police to test the "Bed Sheet Rope" myth, the cops were unusually amused at the fake prisoner number of "3.14" (for pi) he gave himself. Turns out it was because they misread it as "3-14", which is the California police code for "indecent exposure". | |

In the Grey's Anatomy episode "It's the End of the World," "Code Black" is passed between doctors and staff. It apparently stands for an explosive on the premises. It's an unexploded bazooka shell in the innards of a man about to undergo surgery. Hospitals do have codes for a large number of unbelievably unlikely situations. The horror comes when you realize there wouldn't be a code for it if it hadn't happened before. There's also a Code Silver in Season Six. |

Scrubs played with this once (as well as having some straight uses of it). J.D. fakes getting a 'Code 3' on his pager to escape a patient. When asked by the patient what it is, he replies "It's worse than a Code 2 but not as bad as a Code 4" and hurries out of the room.... barreling straight into a stretcher placed across the door and pitching headlong over it. Carla, still standing in the room, comments "That's a Code 2." | |

Ghostwriter had "Rally", usually with the appropriate character initial to signal a need to meet up and discuss the case; it was developed after Jamal attempted to ask for help and Ghostwriter treated it as a signal, confusing everyone. Ironically, if a character is actually in distress, they likely won't use "Rally" for the simple fact that they're probably not in a position to go get help, such as in an incident in one of the books where Hector had been kidnapped by the villain behind a trilogy long arc and writes a call for help with his finger before miserably thinking that it probably wasn't readable and help won't come (he's almost right but fortunately the rest of the team puzzled it out). | |

In Johnny Mnemonic Dr. Alcome is code for a general call to doctors when the clinic needs lots of help but doesn't want to spook the patients. Amazingly, one of the characters doesn't get it and has to have it spelled out for her - All come. This is also at least partly Truth in Television, as many hospitals will use this code if they need a lot of medical personnel in a particular part of the hospital (e.g., "Doctor Alcome to the emergency ward.") |

The West Wing: The characters used a code to get someone to immediately stop whatever they were doing, come quickly, and not ask questions by making a casual reference to an "old friend from home." Additionally, the Secret Service was operating on some kind of color code. When serious disaster befalls the Bartletts at the end of Season 4 (Zoey getting kidnapped) SS Agent Butterfield tells Leo "We're up at black." In the second season premiere the hospital where President Bartlet is taken after being shot uses the code "Trauma One Blue" to inform the staff that they need to evacuate the other emergency room patients. |

In Lean on Me, Principal Clark declares that when the fire inspectors are spotted (he put the chains on the doors to keep gangs out of the school, but as the doors are fire exits, barring them violated the Fire Code), he'll announce a "Code 10", subtly telling the staff to get the chains off the doors. Of course, the idea is kind of ruined when the inspectors do come, and he starts screaming, "Code 10! Code 10! This is Joe Clark! Get those chains off those doors!" over the radio. By the time he tried to get the word out, the fire inspectors were already inside. | |

In the Cabin Pressure episode "Gdansk", a nervous passenger mistakes one of the MJN crew's word games for a Code Emergency. Carolyn explains that a real emergency would be announced on the intercom. Unfortunately, this happens to be the flight that Martin chooses to recite his answers to the word game over the cabin address. In the episode "Qikiqtarjuaq", Carolyn calls Arthur away from trying to lecture a passenger about different species of bears by saying "Code Red". This code means that Arthur should stop what he is doing at once and leave. In the later episode "Timbuktu", it's explained that "Code Red" specifically means "Arthur, you're being too helpful." |

Parodied in Clear Skies. The title vessel has fifteen color codes; of these four are known: Code Red ("Imminent Ship Destruction"), Code Orange ("Imminent Judith Chalmers Encounter"), Code Yellow ("It's time to start running"), and Code Blue ("Armed incursion of the ship"). Charlie- who wrote these things- mentions a fifth code, Fuschia, though what it means is unknown. | |

Lampshaded completely in Final Fantasy XIII when boarding the airship Palamecia: When first intruders are detected, the bridge declares Code Red, which later is raised to Code Green and eventually Code Purple. But it gets ridiculous once the intruders disappear from the security scanners: | |

In Alas, Babylon, the titular phrase is a running joke used by the protagonist Randy Bragg and his brother Mark when things go wrong. At the novel's beginning, Mark, a Strategic Air Command colonel, uses the phrase to get a message to his brother that the Cold War is about to go hot. | |
