What race code is used when inquiring into the Wanted Person File if the race is unknown?

The race code used when inquiring into the Wanted Person File, when the race is unknown, is represented by the letter "U". This designation is specifically intended for instances where the race of the individual is not provided, ensuring that law enforcement and users of the Indiana Data and Communications System can accurately categorize and process inquiries without assuming or guessing the race.

Using the appropriate code like "U" helps maintain data integrity and allows for clearer communication among law enforcement agencies. It is vital for operational efficiency and legal compliance that data entries reflect accurate information, and "U" serves this purpose by designating cases of unknown race without misclassification.
