When reporting 'eyes on' status, what accompanying information should be included?

• A. Only broadcast status with no location.
• B. The location, units involved, and estimated time of action.
• C. Personal opinions about the suspect.
• D. Weather conditions only.

Answer: (B)

The main concept is that when you report that you have eyes on a subject, you need to provide actionable details to keep everyone coordinated and informed. The best practice is to include the exact location of what you’re observing, the units currently involved in the sighting, and an estimated time of action or duration for the next steps. This combination gives responders a precise map of where the subject is, who is actively watching, and how long they expect the situation to unfold, which supports safer decision-making and efficient resource deployment.

Broadcasting only the status without location leaves others guessing where the subject is. Including personal opinions about the suspect has no place in a professional tactical update and can bias decisions. Weather conditions alone don’t convey the active situation or what actions are imminent, so they don’t replace the essential location, units, and timing information.
