911 Dispatcher Practice Test

In cases of "traffic accident-no injury," what is usually noted?

1. A major road blockage

2. Minimized law enforcement response

3. The presence of several injured parties

4. Hit and run investigations

The correct answer is: Minimized law enforcement response

In scenarios described as "traffic accident-no injury," minimized law enforcement response is typically noted because these incidents do not pose a threat to public safety or require immediate medical attention. When injuries are not present, the urgency for police involvement decreases, allowing them to prioritize more serious incidents that do require immediate intervention. Additionally, the response may often entail just gathering information or exchanging insurance details rather than an extensive investigation, further supporting a lighter law enforcement footprint in such situations. Other options address more serious incidents or circumstances involving significant traffic disruption or criminal activity, which are not characteristic of a minor accident where no injuries occur.
