Code White corresponds to which situation?

• A. Medical Emergency
• B. Disturbance
• C. Bomb threat
• D. Escape

Answer: (A)

Code White is the alert used to summon quick medical help for a medical emergency. It signals that someone is having a serious health issue—like fainting, chest pain, trouble breathing, a seizure, or any situation where immediate medical assessment and care are needed. The goal is to get trained medical staff on scene rapidly to stabilize and treat the person. In contrast, a disturbance would be handled by security and de-escalation procedures, not primarily by medical responders. A bomb threat requires a different protocol focused on safety, evacuation, and coordination with authorities. An escape triggers containment and pursuit actions to prevent an inmate from getting away.
