What code corresponds to a WANTED PERSON?

• A. 1026
• B. 1027
• C. 1028
• D. 1029

Answer: (A)

Radio codes compress important statuses into a quick, unambiguous signal. A code that denotes a wanted person is used to alert responding officers that the subject has active warrants or is sought by another agency, which shapes how they approach, detain, and verify the person's identity to stay safe and unit-efficient. In this set, the one assigned to that specific status is the correct choice because it directly communicates the wanted condition to dispatch and units in the field. The other codes in the list represent different dispositions, so they wouldn’t communicate that the person is wanted.
