Often the most vauable way you can help fight crime is by being a living camera when you witness suspicious persons or criminal incidents. Yet the accurate description of criminals can be a big problem -- with the description sometimes being the opposite of reality or being very fuzzy.
Yet this can be overcome with a little effort. Instead of walking past people we meet as we walk along the street it is not a bad idea to try and recreate at least some of those persons you pass in your mind if you have the time. You might have a little trouble at first, but it is just like riding that bicycle when you were younger. Practice makes perfect.
Some things you might observe (descretely) as you pass people are things like their eyes. Are they wide apart or close together. What about their shape? Are they round or oval? Do they have a down or up slant?
What is the shape of their eybrows? Are they arched or straight. Do they have a down slant or are they irregular in shape? Are they thick, bushy, or thin?. What of their eye expression? Are they closed lidded with the eyelid covering part of their eye or are their eyes wide open?
Noticing these things, and others we will be mentioning later can help you to create a more accurate picture for the police ( or if you are a budding novelist the beginnings of some interesting characters).
