Dossier

A suspect dossier is a file or collection of information that is compiled in order to identify and potentially prosecute an individual or group for a suspected crime. It may include details about the suspect's personal information, past criminal history, associates, and any evidence that has been gathered in the investigation.

For example, a suspect dossier might be created in a murder investigation, with information about the victim and the possible motive for the crime, as well as any forensic evidence that has been collected. It could also be used in a fraud case, with details about the suspect's financial transactions and any documents or evidence of wrongdoing.

A suspect dossier may be created by law enforcement agencies, private investigators, or other organizations involved in the investigation. It is used as a reference tool to help identify and track the suspect and to build a case against them. It may be shared with other investigators or legal authorities in order to coordinate the investigation and prosecution.
