Sheriff Code is Signal 27 Emergency Run Lights & Siren REQUIRED
In Ohio you cannot run with just lights you must use siren. Approach to in progress burglary call or robbery once you are close you shut both down.
Lots of rookies ands wannabes like to say "Code 3" because that watch too many cop shows on TV

Bodie, the department I work for calls it "Code 3". The officers and deputies here usually just call it "Running code" though.Hail hail the gang's all here, when the going gets tough I know my friends will still be there. - Drop Kick Murphys, "The Gang's all Here"

Code three in my department is lights and sirens, if we are caught running code three without advising dispatch we get in more than a little trouble. The only exception is if you use the excuse that everyone was talking at once on the radio and you couldn't get on the air (it works but don't get caught too often).

In our agency it's just the opposite. Code 3 means "answer call routine", Code 2 means "answer call without delay" and code 1 means answer call emergency.You have no right to not be offended.-Neal Boortz

For us:
Code 1: No lights or siren / non-emergency call
Code 2: Lights and/or sirens if necessary / emergency (generally, using lights and sirens only to get through red lights.)
Code 3: Lights and siren / major emergency
The only time we use code 3 is if itIt's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses....Hit it!

Hmmm, Code 3 here means running to get something to eat. Code 2... well, there's Code 2 liquid and Code 2 solid if you get me drift"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
