Which 10-code indicates Stolen/wanted vehicle check?

• A. 10-24
• B. 10-29
• C. 10-27
• D. 10-21

Answer: (B)

In this area, the code used to check if a vehicle is stolen or wanted is a specific 10-code that triggers a lookup in the records system (NCIC/Wanted-Warrants) using the vehicle’s plate or VIN. This code is designed exactly for pulling up the vehicle’s status to see if it’s reported stolen or tied to warrants, which helps you decide how to proceed during a stop or at a checkpoint. The other codes listed serve different functions—one is for verifying a driver’s license, another marks an assignment as completed, and another initiates a phone contact. Since those do not perform a stolen/wanted vehicle status check, the code that calls for a vehicle status inquiry is the correct choice.
