In the step-by-step suspicious subject stop, what comes immediately after making contact with the subject?

• A. Brief interview and request their ID
• B. Run a person check on radio
• C. Return their ID
• D. Assess again

Answer: (A)

After making contact, you immediately begin gathering information by doing a brief interview to determine the reason for the stop and to assess safety, while requesting the subject’s ID to verify identity. This step starts the information-gathering process and gives you something concrete to verify before moving on to any checks. A radio check or background screening typically comes after you’ve identified the person or collected basic details, not as the first action. Returning the ID would happen only after you’ve used it to verify identity, and reassessing the situation happens as you gather information, not before the initial interview and ID request.
