Code 10S stands for which offender category?

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

Answer: (C)

Code 10S designates a registered sexual offender. The 10-series codes convey offender type quickly, and the suffix S specifies a sexual offender who is on the registry. This distinction matters because it triggers procedures around verifying registry status, coordinating with probation or parole, and approaching with appropriate precautions. The other options describe general known offenders, known dangerous offenders, or a felony warrant, none of which specifically indicate registry status.
