Which action involves coordinating with a public tip line to gather information?

• A. Check with body shops and part stores
• B. Run computer and license checks
• C. Location checks at the same time of day and day of week to look for the suspect vehicle
• D. Coordinate with Crime Stoppers

Answer: (D)

Public tips from the community can dramatically advance investigations, and coordinating with a public tip line is about gathering those tips. Crime Stoppers is a widely used program that accepts anonymous tips and forwards actionable information to investigators, often with rewards. By working with Crime Stoppers, you tap into a community resource designed for collecting leads from the public without revealing sources. The other actions focus on internal data checks, surveillance, or outreach to shops and parts stores, none of which involve a public tip line.
