* ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' Issue 366, providing the page quote for CrazyPrepared:

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''

* In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', a 10-91-P is a missing platypus.

* Referenced in ''Series/{{Castle}}''. In the episode "Undead Again", a murder suspect, dressed as a zombie, has been found dead in his home. In the morgue, [[spoiler: the medical examiner sticks a needle into the man's arm - only for the so-called corpse to jerk upright and bolt for the door]].

* A couple of cops in ''Film/{{Mirrors}} 2'' discuss the ghoulish scene of a disemboweling with this exchange:

*** For reference, "initial encounter" refers to the initial treatment of the injury, including surgery. "Subsequent encounter" refers to follow-up care after the initial treatment is completed, as well as for side-effects of the initial injury which require future treatment i.e. baseball bat to the head causing double-vision.

* Gloriously subverted in ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' when Howard has to visit the hospital for an embarrassing injury. The scene sets up this trope when:

* {{Discussed|Trope}} in WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZIl8RZvv6I Wild Hunt]]" episode, where Red jokes that the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motif-Index_of_Folk-Literature Stith Thompson Index of Folkloric Classification]] sounds like an urban fantasy version of this.

* A running gag in ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' is for Lincoln to call Clyde on their walkie talkies and give an emergency code, for example "Code Aquamarine." Clyde will respond by clarifying what that code means, which is always for something very specific, in this case, trying to do twelve loads of laundry at once in order to make time to go to an amusement park.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' episode "Uniform Behavior" Heffer takes a job as a security guard. The stress of the position causes him to have a ''[[Film/TheShining Shining]]''-style mental breakdown and flee into the streets tearing off his clothes. He catches the attention of a police officer who notes [[https://rmlgifs.tumblr.com/post/128339077606/10-41-10-41-naked-cow-in-public 10-41, naked cow in public]].

** A non-police variant occurred in one of the ''ComicStrip/USAcres'' segments, with one of Roy's attempts at placing the most ridiculously Byzantine and unfulfillable order he can dream up at Orson's new diner:

** Used in the season 11 episode "Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder":

''Homer points at a fire at the police station''\\

** In another episode, Wiggum reports "a 318 - Waking a Police Officer".

* ''Literature/InvasionEarth''. When the protagonist first shows up to deal with an alien spacecraft that's crashed in Central Park, he tells the NYPD captain that they'll be following a specific plan. The surprised captain asks if the government has anticipated a UFO landing. Rob explains that no, not exactly, but the plan covers a wide range of extreme situations.

* In ''St. George and the Dragonet'' by Stan Freberg, the gallant knight channelling [[Series/{{Dragnet}} Joe Friday]] arrests a dragon on a 502 (devouring maidens out of season).
-->'''[[NoIndoorVoice Dragon]]:''' OUT OF SEASON? YOU'LL NEVER PIN THAT RAP ON ME, DO YA HEAR ME, COP?!!!!
-->'''St. George:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yeah, I hear you.]] I got ya on a 4-12, too.
-->'''Dragon:''' A FOUR-TWELVE!!! WHAT'S A FOUR-TWELVE?!!!
-->'''St. George:''' Overacting.
** Further parodied in his ''Little Blue Riding Hood''.
--->"When I was on my way to a 503, a 618 came in. I added up the 614, the 503 and the 614 and got 1,735."

* Back when [[TelegramGagStop telegrams]] were commonly used, they would charge by the word. Various commercial codes were developed to try and reduce costs for businesses that would send hundreds of telegrams every day.. They weren't exactly secret (though companies could also use secret codes) and were printed in books. Some examples of code words for oddly specific situations.

* ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'': "FiveFingerDiscount" shows Corey hanging out with the wrong crowd and being goaded into [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin shoplifting]]. When Cory puts the stress-toy monkey he stole back where he found it, Raven has a vision of him being caught by mall security for this offense again, and when he meets up with the gang of bullies again, she disguises herself as a security guard to stop him. [[spoiler:The vision comes true, because Raven herself was the security guard who caught Cory shoplifting.]] Played straight when Cory and Raven try to leave the store, only for them and the bullies to be confronted by a ''real'' security guard, who demands to know what sort of situation is going on, and Raven says it's a Code 903, which means a [[ScaryStingingSwarm swarm of bees]]. It is then subverted when Raven asks the guard the one for shoplifting, to which she responds there is none and they just call it that. After the shoplifting bullies are caught, it is parodied when Raven tries to put her borrowed mustache back, which hurts when she rips it off and makes her scream "1027 for mustache burn!".
