Which code means Be on the lookout (BOLO)?

• A. Be on the lookout (BOLO)
• B. In service / Available
• C. Acknowledgement
• D. Receiving Poorly

Answer: (A)

Be on the lookout (BOLO) is the term used to issue a broadcast alert asking units to watch for a person, vehicle, or activity. The question asks which code means BOLO, and the best choice is the option that literally states Be on the lookout (BOLO). This kind of alert is used to quickly disseminate descriptive details—like a suspect’s appearance, last known location, or vehicle information—so all units stay vigilant and coordinated. The other options describe different concepts: a status of In service / Available means the unit is ready for calls, Acknowledgement is the standard response indicating a transmission was received, and Receiving poorly signals audio quality issues rather than an alert to watch for someone or something.
