Where are AM/FM/CB radios and entertainment devices filed in NCIC?

AM/FM/CB radios and entertainment devices are filed in the Article files within the NCIC (National Crime Information Center) database. Article files are specifically designated for items that are considered property or articles rather than vehicles or stolen goods. This classification allows law enforcement agencies to track and recover these devices as personal belongings rather than mistakenly categorizing them as equipment related to a criminal incident or vehicle.

Items in the Article files could include a variety of personal property, and by placing radios and other entertainment devices there, it provides a clear structure for handling reports of their theft or recovery. The categorization helps streamline the process for law enforcement officers to access information relevant to these articles effectively.
