Code 10X indicates which condition?

Explanation:
Code 10X is a high-priority indicator that a vehicle has been reported stolen. The X suffix signals a special alert, meaning every responding unit should treat the vehicle as stolen and be vigilant, be on the lookout, and take appropriate action if it’s encountered. This status directly communicates the theft issue and drives the tactical response, distinguishing it from routine status updates like arriving at a scene or being en route, which don’t convey the stolen-vehicle condition. In practice, 10X prompts units to run plates, maintain heightened awareness, and coordinate with other units to locate and safely recover the stolen vehicle.
