Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sending a bulletin or report to the police department is the best choice as it allows for the information to be distributed to all relevant officers and departments who can then take appropriate action to address the crime pattern. Having a press conference or leaking findings to a reporter may compromise the investigation or create unnecessary panic in the community. Having a private chat with the Chief may not ensure that all relevant parties are notified and may not be documented.
