10-28: Vehicle Registration Information

In APCO 10-codes, 10-28 refers to "Vehicle Registration Information."

This code is used by law enforcement officers to request information about the registration of a vehicle. When an officer encounters a vehicle, they may need to verify its registration status to ensure it is legally registered, identify the owner, or check for any outstanding issues related to the vehicle.

For example:

  • Officer: "Dispatcher, please run a check on the vehicle's registration. 10-28 for the details."
  • Dispatcher: "Copy that, Officer. I’ll get the registration information for you."

The use of 10-28 aids in ensuring that officers have the necessary information about vehicles during traffic stops, accidents, or investigations, enhancing safety and compliance with the law.
