Oddly enough I have a recording of this taken from Leeds of all places.
We were on the Deltic trip returning back from Dundee, when we arrived at Leeds there was a repeated announcement on the platforms on the other side from us which were preceded by several loud "alarm" style tones. The platforms were empty (from what I can remember barring a pair of BTP guys).
I'll dig it out and upload it tomorrow.
We used to have a bell, later replaced by a very loud buzzer and would use codes for various things.
1 - Someone get on a till and help out
2 - Supervisor / Managment to the tills
3 - Shoplifter
4 - Assault (ahem - civil unrest)
5 + Everyone get the heck onto the shop floor and see what's going on...
Personally I used to love hunting shoplifters, once chased one for at least half a mile before "loosing him" only for him to be "returned" to us by a friendly South African fella who used to track wild animals and found the bugger in the woodlands... Another favorite was just following the known suspects around standing about a foot away from them.
When I got promoted it wasn't the same following them on camera
Hospitals use a similar system with either Dr (colour) or just Code (colour).

Actually someone has already got a better quality (no Deltic noise) copy.
At Leeds again!
