  1. Do You Know The Suspected Violator?
  2. If Not, What Is His Approximate Age, Height, Weight, Color Of Hair Or Eyes?
  3. How Is The Suspected Violator Dressed?
  4. What Type Of Violation Occurred?
  5. Are There Any Concealed Animals?
  6. How Many?
  7. Where?
  8. Was A Vehicle Observed?
  9. If So, What Is The License Plate Number?
  10. Can You Describe The Year, Make And Color Of The Vehicle?
  11. Where Was It Last Seen?
  12. In Which Direction Was It Traveling?

All of these questions, and more, may be invaluable to an enforcement investigation. Accurate, detailed observations are essential.
