TIPS ON IDENTIFYING PEOPLE

THIS HELPS OUT OFFICERS

1. BEGIN BY KNOWING EXCATLY HOW TALL YOU AE.. THIS WILL GIVE YOU SOMEHTING FOR COMPARSION.

2. KNOW WHERE THE TOP OF AN AUTOMOBILE COMES TO ON YOUR BODY, AND WHAT HEIGHT THAT IS.

3. KEEP A PAD AND PENCIL AT HAND. IF YOU DO NOT WRITE IT DOWN YOU MAY FORGET.

4. MAKE SURE THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE IS ADEQUATELY LIT. DRUG DEALERS, LIKE OTHER CRIMINALS, MAY LIKE TO DO THEIR BUSINESS AT NIGHT. LIGHTING PUTS THEM AT RICK OF BEING INDENTIFIED.

5. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO FACIAL HAIR AND HAIR STYLE. RARELY DOES A CRIMINAL CHANGE THESE.

6. LOOK FOR THE COLOR OF CLOTHES; STRIPES, ATHLETIC TEAM NAMES, NUMBERS AND UNUSUAL DESIGNS.

7. DOES THE PERSON LIMP, OR IS THERE ANYTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THEIR WALK?

8. DOES THE PERSON HAVE A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT OR SPEAK WITH AN ACCENT.

9. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE EXCAT, GIVE A LITTLE LEEWAY. ALL POLICE NEED IS PROABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THE PERSON YOU ARE DESRIBING HAS CIMMITTED A CRIME.
