This code signifies an injury sustained by a law enforcement official due to a firearm discharge during a legal intervention, where the specific type of firearm is not documented. It indicates the initial treatment for the injury resulting from this event.

Apply this code when a law enforcement officer presents for initial care after being injured by an unspecified firearm during an incident involving legal intervention. This includes situations like an officer being shot by a suspect or an accidental discharge during an arrest where the firearm type isn't specified.

• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient is a law enforcement official and the injury occurred during legal intervention.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment of the injury.
• Confirm the firearm type is not specified in the medical record; otherwise, a more specific code may be appropriate.
