What would be indicated by Code 2 in dispatch?

Code 2 in dispatch typically indicates that a unit should respond with lights activated but without sirens. This type of response is usually used in situations that require urgency but may not necessitate the loud notification of sirens, such as when a lower priority situation can still benefit from the visibility provided by lights.

Using lights without sirens allows the responding unit to navigate through traffic more safely while still conveying to other drivers that they are on a mission. This is important as it balances the need for speed with overall public safety, avoiding unnecessary panic or confusion that might arise from the sound of sirens.

In contrast to this, responses that use lights and sirens are typically reserved for more urgent situations, while other codes represent different statuses such as call cancellations or unit availability.
