GC Most Important Detective Traits Attention to Details & Professionalism Discussion

BACKGROUND:

You and a very close friend (Kelly) are in the 711 at night buying snacks. When you go out into the parking lot, Kelly’s ex-boyfriend confronts you both. He tells Kelly that it was a mistake for her to leave him and pulls out a large knife. He pushes you to the ground, grabs Kelly by the hair and drags her to his car. Moments later, he quickly drives off. Kelly can be heard screaming.

You call the police. Several arrive and one takes your statement. Several Patrol Officers leave, looking for the car you described to them.

A few days later, a Detective comes to your house to do a follow-up investigation. You are still very upset. He tells you that Kelly has not been found yet and that he is assigned to her case.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Using the Detective traits from page 10 of So You Want To Be A Detective Presentation Answer the following questions.

1. What three detective traits would you want this investigator to have (that you think would help him find Kelly and bring her ex-boyfriend to justice)?
2. In detail, describe why you picked each of those three. “DETAIL” is not one sentence answers.
