Which code would be used for reporting a suspicious person?

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

Answer: (D)

When you encounter someone whose behavior or appearance raises safety concerns, you use the Suspicious Person code. This code is specifically for reporting concerns about a person, not a vehicle or a crime. It signals that officers should assess the situation with a person-centered approach, possibly checking on welfare, gathering information, or monitoring the area. The other codes address different scenarios: Homicide is for reporting or documenting a murder investigation; Suspicious Vehicle is for concerns about a vehicle; See Person for Info is used to obtain information about a person rather than to file a concern about suspicious behavior. Using the Suspicious Person code ensures the report is categorized correctly and can be followed up appropriately.
