• Predictions: Behavioral analysis and movement mapping to anticipate routes.
• Strategic continuous investigation: Flexibility, persistence, and tactical adjustments based on conditions.
The importance of documentation
• Accurate recording: Notes with dates, times, and locations to ensure courtroom credibility.
