1. Receipt of information and initial response,
2. emergency care,
3. secure crime scene and control persons and evidence,
4. issue a be-on-the-lookout,
5. conduct neighborhood and vehicle canvas,

The follow-up investigation is the effort expended by the police in gathering information subsequent to the initiation of the original report until the case is ready for prosecution or closed.
