Code 10C corresponds to which offender type?

Code 10C flags a Known Dangerous Offender. This designation communicates to responding officers that the subject is already known to police and is considered dangerous, so extra caution is required. It helps guide approach strategy, such as calling for backup, maintaining distance, and using heightened situational awareness. The other statuses describe different situations—being a known offender without the explicit danger tag, being a registered sexual offender, or simply having a felony warrant—each carrying a different set of safety implications and response priorities. The emphasis of 10C is the combination of recognition and risk, signaling that the individual may pose an elevated threat.
