Chapter 14 Flashcards
When should instructions on how to handle evidence and clues be given?
During the briefing
What are the 5 types of clues?
Physical, documentary, testimonial, events, and analytical
What are the three characteristics on which detection is based?
Sensor, search object, and the environment
What are the 7 pieces of a subject profile?
Health, experience, fears, age, history, meds, hobbies, and addiction
What are the 4 ways to document clues?
Photograph, sketch, collect, witness
What does determining the POD help us do?
Estimate how throughly a segment has been searched
What are the 7 “crucials” of search management?
1: Emergency
2: Max the POS in the shortest time
3: Search is a mystery
4: Search for clues and subject
5: Focus on aspects important to success
6: know if the subject leaves the search area
7: Grid search as last resort
What is the term used to describe the measure of detectability, and the effectiveness of a certain sensor, to detect a particular object, under environmental conditions?
Effective Sweet Width
What 2 things does POD require?
1) the object is in the area
2) the sensor is able to detect and recognize the object
What is the smallest area consistent with all the available info, which contains all of the possible object locations?
Search area
What are the 9 clue specifics info questions to ask yourself?
1) what general category is the subject?
2) last point seen?
3) circumstances involving their loss?
4) health of the subject?
5) personality of the subject?
6) equipment they were carrying?
7) what is the terrain like?
8) critiquing the mission?
9) tracking?
What is a measure of the area that can be, or was searched within the limits of search speed, endurance, and effective sweep width?
How do you calculate this and what letter represents this?
Area Effectively Swept
Z= effective sweep width * search speed * hours spent searching
Z= WVT
What is the ratio of the area effectively swept divided by the area searched?
What is the calculation?
Coverage
C= Z/A
Area effectively covered/area searched
What Letter represents each concept of search theory?
Area effectively swept:
Effective sweep width:
Search speed:
Hours spent in the search area:
Coverage:
Z W V T C
What is the probability of the search object being detected if it was in the area searched?
Probability of Area
