''We're looking for an [=IC1=] female...''

IC (Identity Codes) Numbers are codes used by the British police to describe a person's apparent ethnicity.

The codes are:
* [=IC1=] – White European
* [=IC2=] – Dark European (Mediterranean / Hispanic)
* [=IC3=] – Afro-Caribbean
* [=IC4=] – Asian (South Asian)
* [=IC5=] – East/Southeast Asian
* [=IC6=] – Arab/North African
* [=IC7=] or 0 – Unknown (sometimes snarkily referred to as 'Tantastic', for those who've over done the orange fake tan)

Used in many a PoliceProcedural, especially ''Series/TheBill''.

Although it's not used universally; the London Metropolitan Police came up with the idea and were the only ones to really make official use of it until a national system was brought in in 2000. Appearances in fiction outside of the M25 are usually a result of poor research.
