FHP’s live records can include a code, an incident label, or both. Our ruleset fhp-observed-2026-08-01-v1 is based on observed source fields. It is not presented as an official statewide dispatch-code dictionary.
Current code handling
| Code | Qualifying signal used by this site |
|---|---|
| S3 or S4 | No qualifying injury, fatality, roadblock, or commercial-vehicle signal from the code alone. |
| S3I or S4I | Injury signal. |
| S4IR | Injury and roadblock signals. |
| S4R | Roadblock signal. |
Approved explicit source wording can also support classification. A fatality label requires explicit fatality wording; no code in the table alone establishes a death. Commercial-vehicle classification requires explicit supported involvement, not a guess from road, location, or vehicle size. The public record does not repeat raw remarks directly.
Negative and uncertain wording matters. An explicit statement that there is no roadblock must not be turned into a roadblock claim. Conflicting or uncertain supported fields, and codes outside the approved mapping, stop automatic publication and enter review.
These rules classify the source observation, not the final result of an investigation. Injury does not specify a person’s prognosis, and a roadblock does not prove fault or severity. Compare the original FHP incident view and this site’s source fields when evaluating a page.
