The 10-28 code is used for what purpose?

The 10-28 code is utilized specifically for a vehicle registration check. This means that when law enforcement personnel or authorized individuals use this code, they are checking the details related to a particular vehicle's registration status, including information such as ownership, licensing, and whether the vehicle is properly registered in the state. This is a crucial part of ensuring compliance with state regulations regarding vehicles on the roadway.

In contrast, the other codes serve different purposes. For example, a wants/warrants check would involve investigating whether there are any outstanding warrants for individuals. A suspended vehicle registration check specifically relates to whether a particular vehicle's registration has been suspended. A confidential information check would refer to accessing sensitive data that isn’t generally available to the public. Each of these codes addresses specific needs in law enforcement activities, but 10-28 distinctly focuses on vehicle registration information.
