COMMON SIMILARITIES AMONG SUSPECTS
1-
A suspect in unfamiliar turf will run into the woods when chased and
hunker-down until he is sure his pursuer has passed. He will try to come
out and cross over the road.
2- If forced deeper into the woods, the suspect will look for lights and sounds of civilization and go in that direction.
3- Once pushed, he will not stop moving unless he believes he will be
detected.
4- Suspects tend to look for the easiest path across water, evan if it means giving up some of their lead time, unless you're right on their tail. They will look for rocks or branches to cross over on or a narrow spot where they think they can jump.
5- When tracking on the street, the suspect will cut corners to shorten
his path, unless he fears detection. Check these areas for sand drifts that gets trapped against curbs and driveways. Footprints are common.
6- Once a suspect knows there is a K9 tracking him, all bets are off!
They will climb trees, bury themselves in leaves or soil, submerge in water,
swamp or mud, climb into pipes, crawl spaces and under cars.

PERIMETER CIRCUMFERENCE and AREA TO COVER
1-
The simple method used to determine your perimeter is based on the
following formula: The average suspect is capable of traveling 2 city
blocks (2/10 mile) per minute after first the encounter.
2- The formula used to determine the area to be searched is slightly more complicated. (3.14 times the radius squared)
A- You must first identify the actor as a suspect or victim.
1- A lost adult moves at about 2 miles per hour on flat ground.
2- A suspect can cover 4 miles per hour (15 minute mile).
B- Determine the radius based on victim/suspect and time lapsed
since first encounter.
C- Multiply 3.14 times the radius squared.
EXAMPLE: If you have determined that the victim was last seen one hour ago, then the formula would be:
3.14 X 2 X 2 = 12.56 Square Miles of search area to cover.
