What should you do when a witness tells you they think they know who committed a crime?

Immediately confront the suspect
Dismiss the claim
Make a note and pass it along to police
Tell the witness to inform the police directly

The correct answer is: Make a note and pass it along to police

When a witness reports that they think they know who committed a crime, it is important to handle the situation carefully and follow proper protocol. Immediately confronting the suspect could potentially put yourself and others in danger, as well as jeopardize the investigation. Dismissing the claim without further inquiry could also lead to important information being overlooked. While alerting the police directly may seem like the most efficient option, it is important to first gather all the necessary information and evidence before involving law enforcement. Making a note and passing it along to the police allows them to receive the necessary information while also ensuring that all proper procedures are followed.
