Ocala Police Department Signals Practice Test

When a suspect flees a crime scene and is at large, the appropriate signal is Escape. This label directly communicates that someone who was in custody or under control has managed to get away and is no longer in custody. It prompts units to be on alert, coordinate containment, and proceed with locating the suspect.

The other signals don’t fit this situation: Death/Death Notification is for reporting a death and notifying next of kin; Stolen Tag is about a stolen vehicle tag; Homicide is related to investigations of a killing. None of those describe a suspect who has escaped and is at large.
