SUSPECT DESCRIPTION



How to Describe a Suspect and other conditions.
Location information is critical:

  • Observe where you are and the exact location of the crime. Try to remember if you have ever seen the suspect in the area before.
  • Note the time as precisely as possible.
  • Observe if the suspect is carrying a weapon and, if so, what kind.
  • If the suspect leaves the scene, note the direction of flight.

If the suspect is in a vehicle, note as much of the following information as possible:
Type of vehicle: was it a truck, van, car. Its color; make and model; condition of vehicle {was it dirty, damaged, ect.}; and if you can get it the license plate numbers.
Also watch for decoys or accomplices.

A variety of general descriptions about the suspect should be noted:
  • Build: was he or she slim, muscular, husky, fat, etc.
  • Estimate of age
  • Sex
  • Estimate of weight
  • National origin
  • Height: use your own height, or some other standard measure to use as a comparison
Facial information is also important:
  • Hair: the color, style, passable wig
  • Eyes: the color, shape
  • Nose: was it long, wide, flat, etc.
  • Ears: were they protruding or flat against the head
  • Mouth: were they thin, full, did they turn up or down
  • Chin: what was the shape: round, oval, pointed, square, double chin, or dimpled.
  • Complexion: did he or she have acne, pockmarks
  • Facial hair: was he clean shaven, unshaven, have a beard, mustache, or goatee

  1. Carrying small devices and posting non obtrusive cameras are a great way to aid and assist police in investigations. Especially car mounted cameras which are affordable and can carry many hours on it
