Question: 1 / 400

Before starting an investigation to locate a suspect, what is the first step?

Determine the urgency of the case

Identify if the client's reasoning behind the investigation is frivolous

The first step before starting an investigation to locate a suspect is to identify if the client's reasoning behind the investigation is frivolous. This is important because it helps ensure that the investigation is necessary and not a waste of time and resources. Option A is incorrect because while urgency is important to consider, it should not be the first step as it may cause hasty and incomplete investigations. Option C is incorrect because establishing a perimeter is part of the investigative process, but not the first step. Option D is also incorrect, as it is not necessary to request additional resources before confirming the validity of the investigation. It is important to first establish if the investigation itself is legitimate and necessary before dedicating more resources to it.
