What does Signal 42 instruct officers to do?

• A. Be on station
• B. Disperse to assigned areas
• C. Resume normal operations
• D. Report to headquarters

Answer: (A)

Signal 42 instructs officers to be on station, which means they should remain at their designated locations and be ready for any calls or assignments that may come in. This signal emphasizes the importance of readiness and ensures that officers are available to respond to emergencies or incidents in their operational areas. Being on station allows for efficient coordination among unit members and effective responses to public safety needs.

The other options do not align with the intention of Signal 42, which is specifically focused on maintaining a presence and readiness rather than dispersing, resuming normal operations, or reporting to headquarters at that moment.
