Adding Unknown Suspect to a CAD event:
Adding unknown suspects by using the unknown suspect module in CAD is an efficient way to keep unnecessary information out of the Master Name File. The unknown suspect module concentrates on recording the physical information of an individual since oftentimes not much else is known.
The Unknown Suspects module can be found in the CAD Functions>>Unknown Suspects menu item. Once open, use Ctrl-a to put the window into add mode.
The CAD number is displayed at the top followed by a suspect number. The suspect number is cumulative (SUSP #1, SUSP #2, etc.) for each CAD event. Included in the window are many list value areas where items such as Race, Sex, and Hair Color can be entered, as well as free text areas to allow the entry of an age range and notes.
Once all information about the unknown suspect has been entered, pressing the Save button will commit that information to the database.
Adding Multiple Unknown Suspects – Multiple unknown suspects can be added to a CAD event by first entering any known information about a suspect into the text fields. Once finished click the Save button to save the first suspect, then use the Ctrl-A to put the window back into add-mode to add the second suspect, and so on. If there have already been one or more suspects added to a CAD event when the Unknown Suspect window opens the last entered suspect will be displayed.
The List button can be used to view all suspects that have been added to a CAD event.
Double-clicking on any of the records in the data grid will open the main Unknown Suspects window and display all the information on that suspect
