Lockout - Residence is which code?

• A. 16
• B. 20A
• C. 17A
• D. 17R

Answer: (D)

In the APD signals system, the number shows the general incident type, while a letter suffix specifies where it’s happening. For lockouts, the base code is 17, and the suffix identifies the location. The suffix R stands for Residence, so a lockout at a residence is coded as 17R. This combination uniquely communicates both the situation (lockout) and the location (residence) to responders, guiding how units are dispatched. Other options either use a different base number that would indicate a different incident type, or they use a suffix that points to a different location category. Because the question is specifically about a residence lockout, only the 17R code fits that scenario.
