A BOLO for a vehicle includes which details?

• A. Color, Manufacturer, model and year
• B. License plate and state
• C. Unique details
• D. Color, Manufacturer, model and year, license plate and state, unique details

Answer: (D)

A BOLO should include every identifying feature available to maximize recognition and quick location. Color helps distinguish the vehicle at a glance, while the manufacturer and model/year specify the exact type of vehicle. The license plate and state uniquely identify the registered vehicle, and unique details capture distinguishing marks such as dents, bumper stickers, decals, or other features that set this vehicle apart from similar ones. Including all of these details makes the alert as actionable as possible for officers and the public. The other options omit one or more essential elements, making them less effective on their own.
