We've got a 20-26, someone's trying to describe Police Code For Everything here! The Monster of the Week has grown to the size of a skyscraper, and is currently rampaging through New York, carrying a load of Noodle Implements. He's even kidnapped the Designated Victim. A police officer on scene calmly pulls out his radio and announces "We've got a 10-340". No matter how obscure, improbable, or downright weird an event is, the Crazy-Prepared department has a code for it. Furthermore, everyone will have the code memorized and are expected to know instantly what the code means - they might have even trained for its eventual use. (Although there's the frequent exception, or just a non-cop who happens to be involved, leading them to question what it is, and for the meaning to be revealed.) It may be that their beat is a Quirky Town or the City of Adventure, so they come to expect giant apes once again fighting among the stampeding warthogs. More often than not, this Trope can go hand-in-hand with the Police Are Useless Trope, because having the code just means they know what is happening, not that they know how (or are sufficiently equipped) to deal with it. Sub-Trope of Crazy-Prepared. Sister Trope to Code Emergency, where a pre-arranged code is used for clandestine communication. See also Hash House Lingo for another profession where everything has its own code which the employees have memorized. |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. S.H.I.E.L.D. uses the code 084 to refer to an "object of unknown origin". Fitz later clarifies that even if they don't know what an object is, if they know where it came from it doesn't qualify as an 084. It alludes to the box label for the original object that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s predecessor, the SSR, acquired that fit that category. | |

Monsters, Inc. A 23-19 call goes out whenever there's contact between monsters and a human object, even something as innocuous as a sock. When Monstropolis appears in Kingdom Hearts III, we get other CDA examples; 8-35 is an indicator that a human has come through the door network, while 72-16 is a warning of unidentified life-forms. |

Corner Gas plays it straight in one episode and plays with it in another. For the former, Lacey calls the police when experiencing car trouble while Hank is accompanying them on a police ride-along program. Of course, since there is little to no crime in Dog River, they probably would have police code for the things people actually call them about. For the latter, Davis finds what appears to be an alien Crop Circle and gives a police code, but it turns out to be a mundane one that he is using creatively. |

Iron Fist (2017). Unsurprisingly with all the metahumans running around, the NYPD has the appropriate a police code. In "Heart of the Dragon", Misty Knight responds to a 616, which she explains is "possible suspect with abilities" after someone steals the power of the Iron Fist off Danny Rand and uses it to kill several Triad members. 616 is the universe number of the main Marvel Universe in the comics, so it's also a Mythology Gag. | |

There's a naval variation in Good Omens: after trying to find the way to communicate that he's found a sunken city of pyramids, he looks through "international codes" and sends "XXXV QVVX" which means "Have found the lost city of Atlantis. High Priest has just won the Quoits contest." | |

In Toy Story 2, a Buzz Lightyear action figure at Al's Toy Barn (who thinks he's a real space ranger) is completely baffled at the behavior of the other toys, who are trying to rescue Woody. Andy's Buzz (who realizes he's a toy) tells the deluded Buzz, "It's alright, Space Ranger. It's a code 5-46." Deluded Buzz gasps and bows before Woody, saying, "Your Majesty!" And from that point on, while he still believes himself to be a real space ranger, this Buzz takes the situation entirely in stride and works with the remaining toys, although he ends up in combat against an Emperor Zurg action figure, believing it to be real. | |

In Legend of the Five Rings, the Crab Clan have "battle-language" to describe common scenarios. For example, "Kannishiki!" means "The creature we are fighting can only be harmed by jade weapons!". "Tsuta" means "The staff of this restaurant or geisha house are actually shapeshifted Shadowlands creatures. Fetch your weapons discreetly and meet me at the door." If that fails, "Yasha!" means "The jig is up. Fight your way out however you can." | |

Two non-police examples from Questionable Content: When Bubbles comes into the café somewhat distraught after abruptly realizing her feelings for Faye, Dora springs into action and mobilizes her girlfriend Tai by phoning her to report a "Code 3." Sam finds a random metal part on the floor of Union Robotics and asks Faye about it. Faye feigns horror and Bubbles, without missing a beat, pretends to call in a "Code Fuchsia" directly to the President, with the missiles targeted on her location. Once Sam has had sufficient opportunity to confront her own mortality, they clarify that they were kidding, and "Code Fuchsia," though apparently real, is quite a bit more benign than it sounded. |

That's So Raven: "Five-Finger Discount" shows Corey hanging out with the wrong crowd and being goaded into shoplifting. When Cory puts the stress-toy monkey he stole back where he found it, Raven has a vision of him being caught by mall security for this offense again, and when he meets up with the gang of bullies again, she disguises herself as a security guard to stop him. The vision comes true, because Raven herself was the security guard who caught Cory shoplifting. Played straight when Cory and Raven try to leave the store, only for them and the bullies to be confronted by a real security guard, who demands to know what sort of situation is going on, and Raven says it's a Code 903, which means a swarm of bees, making everyone freak out. It is then subverted when Raven asks the guard the one for shoplifting, to which she responds there is none and they just call it that. After the shoplifting bullies are caught, it is parodied when Raven tries to put her borrowed mustache back, which hurts when she rips it off and makes her scream "1027 for mustache burn!". | |

Star Wars Rebels: The Empire uses an emergency code system that it took over from the Grand Army of the Republic. In "Stealth Strike", Kanan and Rex have to infiltrate an Imperial Interdictor. Rex uses his knowledge of the emergency code system (which he helped invent) to convince the crew to let them board in a stolen unscheduled shuttle. The codes are not explained any further than that a 157 is something that can occur on a shuttle and may develop into a 3376, which is not something you want to happen on your starboard side, even if you're sitting in an experimental cruiser inside a restricted 675 testzone. Later in the episode, Kanan and Rex accidentally start a conversation with an Imperial officer in an Uncomfortable Elevator Moment. The officer snidely comments that Rex's armor looks tight on him and Rex mutters an insult under his breath, but Kanan covers him by saying that he has hyper-sickness and that he's taking him to the, uh, 257 — which is the commissary. The officer snarks that the commissary is the last place he'd want to take him before leaving. |

Similarly, on ER, Kerry Weaver tries to implement a code system for people's injuries and illnesses so that they don't have to be embarrassed by having the gory or gross details posted on the admission board. Unfortunately, everyone whines and complains and can't be bothered to learn the various codes, forcing the idea to be abandoned in less than a day. | |

She starts to respond by saying that she's "dealing with a code—", but the man cuts her off, knowing that she could be giving him a code that alerts him to her situation. Luckily her supervisor figures out she's in trouble anyway as she the tells him that she's driving a lost child around to find his parents, something that's a violation of policy. | |
