In the Detailed investigation phase, which action relates to victims?

• A. Identify victims ASAP and obtain details.
• B. Determine vehicle fault.
• C. Prescribe medical treatment.
• D. Dispatch officers to hospital.

Answer: (A)

During the detailed investigation, the emphasis is on building a precise picture of who is involved and what happened to them. Identifying victims as soon as possible and collecting their details is crucial because it ensures proper identification, enables timely medical and welfare actions, and provides the necessary information for statements and any follow-up to the case. It also allows staff to notify next of kin and coordinate the appropriate support.

The other actions don’t fit this phase’s focus. Determining vehicle fault relates to causation and vehicle examination rather than victim information. Prescribing medical treatment is the role of medical personnel. Dispatching officers to hospital is a logistical task, not part of gathering victim information for the investigation.
