What action does Signal 25 require from an officer?

Signal 25 is a specific call code used by law enforcement agencies, including the Ohio State Highway Patrol, to indicate that an officer needs to contact home or their main office in person. This signal typically implies that there is a need for direct communication regarding an urgent matter or a situation that may require further instructions or assistance.

The reason the action of making personal contact is emphasized is the nature of the situations that may arise, which often require the officer to be physically present for a briefing or a critical update. Other options may involve communication but do not specifically align with the signal's intention of requiring direct personal contact. This ensures that the officer receives the necessary information or directives in a timely manner and can respond appropriately.
