If a subject has a record but is not wanted, which code was used?

• A. Subject has Record, Not Wanted
• B. Subject Negative
• C. Subject Positive Hit
• D. Assist with Wanted Person

Answer: (A)

In this scenario, the right code communicates that there is prior information on the person, but there is no active warrant or pursuit. A subject with a record but not wanted signals that you should be aware of past history, yet there’s no immediate need to detain or search for this person on a warrant basis. It guides how you approach the interaction—treat as a routine contact with awareness of background, not as a wanted or high-risk case. The other options imply different situations: no record found (negative), a match that requires action due to a warrant (positive hit), or assistance with locating someone who is wanted (assist with wanted person). Thus, the code used is the one indicating a record exists, but the person is not wanted.
