Which item is NOT typically included in a surveillance report?

• A. Full names of persons
• B. Descriptions of persons and vehicles
• C. Addresses
• D. Weather conditions at the time

Answer: (D)

Surveillance reports are built around documenting observable, verifiable details that identify people and track movements. Full names help link the sighting to a specific individual, descriptions of persons and vehicles provide quick, reliable cues for recognizing them in future sightings, and addresses give exact locations where observations occurred or where subjects were found. Weather conditions, while they may appear in field notes, don’t help identify or prove the observed events and can clutter the report unless weather directly affected the surveillance (such as poor visibility or dangerous conditions). So, weather conditions at the time aren’t typically included in a standard surveillance report.
