Remember these guidelines when witnessing a suspicious event or crime:
Do not confront the subject or subjects; be a good witness.
Inform the police of the location.
Inform the police of any vehicles that were involved and their description.
Providing a name and call back number helps the police.
Provide police with a physical description of the subject; scars, facial hair, and tattoos help identify subjects.
Provide police with a detailed clothing description of what the subject was wearing, such as a red shirt, blue baseball cap, and white tennis shoes.
Provide police with how many subjects were involved and gender or race.
Stay on the telephone as long as possible with the police.
Vehicle descriptions are very important; license plate numbers, make of vehicle, color, condition of the vehicle, and any bumper stickers or distinguishing items on the vehicle.
When reporting a crime or suspicious activities, get directly to what you observed.
To report a crime or suspicious activities, call 765-642-0221.
