What does code 10-63 indicate?

• A. Subject Positive Hit
• B. Proceed with Caution
• C. Tow Truck Needed
• D. Ambulance Needed

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is that this code communicates a definite identification. When you hear 10-63, it means your records check on the person you’ve encountered produced a positive match—someone who is wanted, has an outstanding order, or is otherwise flagged in the system. That tells you the subject is not just a possibility; there’s a confirmed lead you must act on. Operationally, this prompts you to verify the person’s identity, notify dispatch, and likely take appropriate action with added caution and, if needed, backup. The other options describe general actions or unrelated services (like towing or medical help) and don’t convey that you’ve confirmed a match in the records.
