44a No. 13b: The question is to be answered in the affirmative if the known or unknown perpetrator has proved to be active or probably resided abroad. If necessary, information on the time and place of stay abroad is given. Furthermore, in point 14 of the form RCP. 13 and in point 16 of the RGP. 14 to describe the facts so clearly and vividly that all the circumstances characteristic of the operation of the perpetrator emerge and the execution of the act is clearly presented. The description of the details of the working method is therefore of the greatest importance, because it gives the employees the opportunity to decide whether an already known criminal is eligible for unexplained crimes as perpetrators. Therefore, there are no telling ways of speaking (e.g. In the case of theft or burglary: "in a difficult way" to avoid fraud: "by pre-reflecting false facts" etc.). Such data have no value for the comparative work within the files. On the other hand, the admission of the known perpetrator is of the utmost importance, e.g. whether he admits or denies the act; whether he confesses only what is properly proved to him, etc. Such information promotes comparative work; for the same reason, personal descriptions must be made in detail. The indication of all visible features, which are suitable for recognition, an exact description of clothes are indispensable prerequisites for an appropriate comparison work. In the case of the description of the person or clothing, the forms must also be referred to as such, so that the later agents can see that these particulars are not of a reliable value and that other possibilities may exist. All forms must be completed in full. If certain questions cannot be answered, a visible line must be made or "do not be known", because otherwise doubts arise as to whether the answer was not possible or has been overlooked.
