Signal 78 refers to which situation?

Signal 78 refers to a situation in which an individual has a criminal history but is not currently wanted for any offenses. This signal is typically used by law enforcement to convey important information about an individual’s background during interactions or when responding to incidents involving that person. Knowing that someone is not wanted and has a criminal history can help officers assess any potential risks or considerations needed when engaging with the individual.

It's important to understand that while some of the other signals may pertain to specific types of alerts or situations, such as active warrants or concealed carry permits, Signal 78 specifically deals with the status of an individual's criminal history and the significance of not currently having an active warrant against them. This distinction helps law enforcement focus on safety and appropriate action based on the individual’s background.
