If a caller reports a person behaving suspiciously in the area, which call type is used?

• A. Found Property
• B. Suspicious Person
• C. 911 Hang-Up
• D. Molesting Woman/Child

Answer: (B)

When a caller reports someone behaving suspiciously in the area, the call type best fit is Suspicious Person. This category is used for situations where there’s concern about a person’s actions, even if no crime is confirmed yet, and it prompts dispatch to send an officer to observe, check welfare, and gather details. Found Property is for items found by someone and needing to be logged, not for a person’s behavior. 911 Hang-Up applies when the caller disconnects the line, not to described behavior. Molesting Woman/Child is a crime-specific category for sexual offense cases, not general suspicious activity. So, describing someone acting suspiciously aligns with the Suspicious Person call type.
