常见问题
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.
