If an NCIC wanted person hit is received on an individual wanted in another state AND North Carolina is NOT within the area of extradition indicated in the entry: what should you do?

• A. Send a hit confirmation request
• B. Perform a locate transaction
• C. Do NOT send a hit confirmation request nor perform a locate transaction
• D. Escalate to supervisor

Answer: (C)

When a wanted-person hit comes from NCIC and the state that has the warrant is outside the area of extradition shown in the entry, you don’t take actions that would engage the subject in your jurisdiction. The extradition area defines where you can lawfully verify or pursue a warrant. If your state isn’t within that area, issuing a hit confirmation or attempting to locate the person would overstep boundaries and could impede proper legal process. Therefore, you refrain from sending a hit confirmation or conducting a locate transaction. In this situation, the appropriate next step is to follow your agency’s protocol and seek guidance from a supervisor to determine the correct process for handling the hit (e.g., refer to the submitting agency or await the proper extradition procedures).
