What does the signal 10-36 indicate?

The signal 10-36 is used to indicate a "silent run." This means that the unit is to proceed to a specific location or situation without using sirens or lights, often to avoid drawing attention to themselves or the situation that is unfolding. This practice is important in situations where stealth is necessary, such as when approaching a potentially dangerous scenario or a suspect without alarming them, allowing for a more controlled response.

In contrast, the other signals provided in the choices represent different urgent or important statuses. For example, "suspicious person" would notify officers to be on the lookout for an individual that may pose a threat or engage in criminal activity, while "emergency silence" would usually indicate a situation where noise needs to be minimized due to sensitive circumstances, such as during negotiations or operations that require secrecy. "Shots fired" signals an active and urgent threat situation where immediate attention and response are necessary.
