CRIME IN PROGRESS

1. Do not attempt to apprehend or interfere with the suspected criminal except in times of self-protection.

2. If safe to do so, stop and take time to get a good description of the suspect.

Suspect's description (height, weight, sex, color, approximate age, hair color, distinguished physical marks, and clothing), method and direction of travel, and suspects name, if known.

All this takes only a few seconds, and is of the utmost assistance to the investigating officers. If the suspect is entering a vehicle, note the license number, make and model, color, and outstanding vehicle characteristics.
