 HOW TO USE THE GROUND INTERROGATION REPORT

Mission Headquarters
A. One man should be assigned the job of compiling all leads that come into
Mission Headquarters ("Lead Man").
1. Place a stack of Ground Interrogation Reports on a clipboard.
2. Write mission number beside Item 1.
3. Then number each of the sheets consecutively (Item 2) beginning with the
number 1.
4. When a lead comes into Mission Headquarters, the Lead Man completes
Items 3-6 giving his own name and home unit.
5. He then completes Items 7-35 from information supplied by the CAP ground
Interrogation team or non-CAP individuals who may call in.
6. Whenever information is relayed to Mission Headquarters through a third
party (State Police, FAA, etc.), the original source of the information should
be contacted and the lead thoroughly checked out.
7. Do not fill out the Found Interrogation Report in duplicate. This can create
confusion.
B. Leads should be posted in order (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) on a bulletin board.
C. Any further information later obtained from the original source of a particular
lead should be stapled to the original lead.
1. The results of all follow-up investigations of a particular lead by aircraft or
ground teams should be stapled to the original lead for future reference.

D. If information is telephoned directly into Mission Headquarters by a non-CAP

witness, the Lead Man who records the information should fill in Items 31-35
himself.
E. The Lead Man should tell each CAP ground interrogation team the number he is
assigning any leads the team phones or radios in.
Ground Interrogation Team
A. Each ground interrogation team should have several copies of the form.
Leave Items 1-6 blank.
1. Fill in Item 2 only after Mission Headquarters has received the information on
the form by telephone or radio and assigned the lead a number.
Items 31-35 should be filled out by the interrogator immediately after inter-
viewing a witness.
B. Any lead collected by a ground interrogation team should be passed on immed-
iately to Mission Headquarters by radio or telephone.
