Investigative Activities
Normal investigative techniques should generally be applied during the conduct of
CPSs.
Specific criminal acts detected during the survey will be investigated in
accordance with CIDR 195-1.
The survey should not be delayed for this to be
accomplished.
Development of criminal information, not appropriate for inclusion
in the survey report, should be documented and reported as prescribed in CIDR 195-
1, Chapter 18.
Crime prevention surveys will be conducted in a professional and timely manner.
They will be thoroughly coordinated with other inspection, audit, and law
enforcement agencies as appropriate.
Surveys should be focused toward providing
crime prevention support to installation, community, and subordinate commanders.
Timely completion of CPSs is of utmost importance. Accordingly, the CPS will not
be initiated unless the case agent is available to perform the survey. All survey
activity should be completed within 90 days of initiation.
Records Check
An essential element of a CPS is the records check on key employees of the surveyed
facility.
A records check alerts commanders to potential personnel weaknesses
which could result in vulnerability to their organizations to criminal activity.
