A caller reports a person loitering in the area who may be suspicious.

• A. Meet Officer
• B. Suspicious Person
• C. Found Property
• D. Child Abuse

Answer: (B)

Identifying when to classify a caller’s report as Suspicious Person. When a caller says someone is loitering in the area and may be suspicious, the situation centers on a person’s behavior and presence rather than a stated crime. Suspicious Person is the appropriate label because it covers individuals whose actions or lingering in a location raise safety concerns and signals responders to check the situation and determine if there’s any threat. The other options don’t fit: Found Property is for belongings found, Child Abuse is for suspected abuse involving a child, and Meet Officer is a coordination request rather than a reporting category for suspicious behavior.
