GRN represents which color in shorthand?

• A. GREEN
• B. GARNET
• C. GRAY
• D. GOLD

Answer: (A)

In police radio shorthand, colors are written with quick, three-letter codes formed from the color name, often by dropping vowels to speed writing. GRN maps to GREEN because it is the common three-letter abbreviation derived from the word “green” by removing the vowels. If you hear GRN on the radio, you should interpret it as green, such as a green jacket, a green vehicle, or a green light.

The other options don’t fit this shorthand pattern: gray would typically be abbreviated differently (like GRY), gold isn’t represented as GRN, and garnet isn’t a standard three-letter shorthand form in dispatch practice. So the best interpretation of GRN is GREEN.
