When reporting suspicious activity near the border, which information should you include?

• A. Description, location, direction of travel, and any observable risk
• B. Only the location
• C. The time of day
• D. The color of the fence

Answer: (A)

Accurate border reporting hinges on giving a complete, actionable snapshot of what you observe. Include a description of the people or vehicle, the exact location with landmarks, the direction they're moving, and any observable risk (for example, attempting to breach the perimeter, carrying a weapon, or acting aggressively). This enables responders to quickly locate the subject, assess the threat, and prioritize the response. Providing only the location omits who or what to look for; time of day adds context but doesn’t replace a full description, and the color of the fence doesn’t affect the response.
