Which code is used for a Suspicious Situation?

• A. Suspicious Situation
• B. Suspicious Person
• C. See Person for Info
• D. Suspicious Vehicle

Answer: (A)

Think of the codes as sorting suspicious activity by what you’re dealing with. A Suspicious Situation is used when the scenario is dubious but not clearly about a person or a vehicle—it's a general, on-scene concern that doesn’t pin down who or what is suspicious. That makes it the best fit for a vague or ambiguous incident.

If the situation clearly involves a person, you’d categorize it as a Suspicious Person. If it clearly involves a vehicle, you’d use a Suspicious Vehicle. The option about seeing a person for info is about looking up details on someone, not about an on-scene suspicious event, so it doesn’t apply here.
