This task is a step in Process of Managing Investigative Cases.

Using the Group Suspect screen views, the investigator can document relationships, groups and addresses associated with the individual. Investigators can also link the suspect to incidents and cases, add attachments, and develop activities to broaden the scope of the suspect file.

  1. Navigate to the Group Suspects screen.
  2. Select a suspect record, and drill down on the Last Name field.
  3. Click the appropriate view tab and create a new record.

    The following table describes some of the views.

    Activities

    While conducting research on a suspect, an investigator might call a police department to follow up on an incident associated with the suspect.
