Which scenario qualifies as a Priority 2 Call?

• A. Verbal argument, no physical altercation has occurred
• B. Motor vehicle accident with injuries
• C. A theft in progress
• D. An emergency medical call

Answer: (A)

Priority 2 calls are for incidents that aren’t life-threatening but still need a prompt response to prevent escalation or harm. A verbal argument with no physical contact fits this: there’s no injuries or ongoing crime, but it could escalate, so police presence is appropriate to de-escalate and ensure safety. The other scenarios involve more immediate danger or medical needs—an injury accident, an emergency medical situation, or a theft in progress—so they’re treated as higher-priority events that require more urgent responses.
