Cosa sapere prima del test

Ontario’s guard training syllabus includes using all five senses, doing initial checks that set a benchmark, and noticing minor but critical details.
Police advice is to build a description of a person from head to toe, including build, hair, clothing and distinguishing features such as scars, tattoos or glasses.
To estimate height, police suggest comparing the person with your own height or a doorway.
For a vehicle, note the plate, colour, make and model, any damage, and the direction it went.
Write down what you saw as soon as possible, including the date and time.

Domande frequenti

What is the most useful part of a suspect description?

Features that are hard to change, such as height, build, scars and tattoos, help most. Clothing helps in the first minutes but can be changed quickly.

How do I describe someone respectfully?

Stick to what you can see and hear: height, build, hair, skin tone, clothing and marks. Use neutral words, give ranges for age and height, and do not guess about a person’s background.

What if I only saw a vehicle?

Note the plate and province if you can, then the colour, make, model, type, damage or stickers, how many people were inside and which way it went.
