Which code is used to request checks for wants or warrants?

• A. 10-28
• B. 10-28A
• C. 10-29
• D. 10-33

Answer: (C)

The main idea is recognizing that the 10-29 code is dedicated to checks for wants or warrants on a person or vehicle. When you need to verify whether someone is wanted or has active warrants, you use 10-29 so dispatch or the appropriate database can run a search in NCIC/local records and return the current status. This lets you proceed with the situation armed with accurate legal information and safety considerations. Other codes serve different purposes: 10-28 handles vehicle registration information, 10-28A isn’t the standard warrants check, and 10-33 is the emergency signal. So, for requesting checks for wants or warrants, the correct code is 10-29.
