Code 10 denotes which designation?

• A. Known Offender
• B. Felony Warrant
• C. Stolen Vehicle
• D. Registered Sexual Offender

Answer: (A)

Code 10 is used to indicate a Known Offender. This designation helps officers quickly share that they’re dealing with someone already identified to the department, often with prior history, so responding units can approach with appropriate awareness and caution and relay relevant background information from dispatch.

Other designations would flag different situations: a felony warrant points to someone with an outstanding warrant, a stolen vehicle alerts to a vehicle theft case, and a registered sexual offender is tracked under a separate alert system. Those contexts are handled with their own specific designations rather than the general Code 10 tag.
