What should be placed as the first name when entering a temporary felony record?

When entering a temporary felony record into the system, using "x" as the first name is the correct practice. The lettering typically corresponds to a classification system where the surname is given more weight. By placing "x" first, it allows the record to maintain a particular order and ensures that it is easily identifiable and can be efficiently managed within the database. This method can help law enforcement agencies and personnel quickly locate and reference the record as needed, particularly in the context of temporary records which may require different handling protocols compared to permanent records.

The other options do not reflect the established convention for entering temporary felony records and may lead to confusion or inefficiencies in data retrieval or management processes within the NCIC system.
