True or False: A caution indicator can be placed on any person entry except for Unidentified Person File.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for felons
• D. Depends on the offense

Answer: (A)

The assertion is true because a caution indicator serves as a warning or alert regarding a person's behavior or history, providing critical information to law enforcement and associated personnel. However, the Unidentified Person File is specifically designed for individuals who have not been identified and therefore do not have a background or history attached to them, making the application of a caution indicator irrelevant and inappropriate in that context. Therefore, applying a caution indicator to any person entry, excluding those entries in the Unidentified Person File, aligns with IDACS protocols. This ensures that valuable alerts are available for individuals with known histories or behaviors where caution is warranted.
