Which follow-up activity is explicitly about observing the suspect vehicle by matching time patterns?

• 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: (C)

Time-based pattern observation focuses on when and where a suspect vehicle appears. By checking locations at the same time of day and on the same days of the week, investigators can detect recurring appearances of the vehicle, turning scattered sightings into a predictable pattern. This approach lets you time surveillance, align patrols, and confirm the vehicle’s movements with higher efficiency. Other actions provide useful information or leads, but they don’t specifically hinge on observing the vehicle by matching time patterns.
