Which code is used to check records of individuals or incidents?

• A. 1026
• B. 1027
• C. 1029
• D. 1033

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is pulling up stored information to verify who someone is or what happened in a case. A records check code is used to query the department’s databases for existing files on individuals or incidents—things like prior arrests, dispositions, or filed reports—to confirm identity and history before taking action. That makes it the best fit because it explicitly requests retrieved information from records, not just verifying live status or pursuing a specific lead.

Other codes map to different tasks. For example, one is typically used to see if someone is wanted or has warrants, which is a more targeted live-check, while others cover entirely different actions or statuses. Those won’t provide the broad, historical information that a records check yields.
