Here are a few tips to use when placing a call to Protective Services.


  • Do not confront the subject or subjects.
  • Try to provide Protective Services with a physical description of the subject; scars, facial hair and tattoos help identify subjects.
  • Include detailed clothing descriptions of what the subject was wearing, such as, a red shirt, blue cap, white shoes.
  • Inform Protective Services of any vehicles that were involved and their description. Vehicle descriptions are very important; licence plate number, make of vehicle, colour, condition of the vehicle and any bumper stickers or distinguishing items on the vehicle.
  • Stay on the telephone as long as possible with Protective Services.
  • Provide a name and call back number for Protective Services to use in case they need to contact you for further information or in case your call is disconnected.
