Every common person now has much of an awareness of civil laws and regulations. People follow the laws for their safety, for justice, and to be responsible citizens and get respect in any civil society; they have to cooperate with the police to help live their lives peacefully. For this purpose, the police department or any other agency responsible for maintaining peace has to publish pamphlets having details of a criminal or can be known as a wanted poster; it has detailed information about the criminal that was sought by law enforcement. This poster contains information about their appearances, the crimes they have been guilty of, and the place they were last seen. It also includes their picture if available or otherwise their possible sketch drawn by experts.

Wanted Poster Guidelines

The bounty for the informer or the prize money to get the criminal caught must be mentioned at the bottom of the poster. It enhances the criminal’s anxiety, and disturbs him to take some steps not to be caught or observed by any common person, and will be suspected by the police. It also shows the importance of the point that the mentioned criminal must have to be caught at any cost because he will be dangerous for anyone and has done much harm to society already and is expected to do that again if not caught.

Here is a preview of my own designed Wanted Poster Template created using MS Word 2007,

When a criminal escapes any jail boundary, is caught in a murder and succeeds in escaping the scene, or is involved in a robbery and goes underground to avoid arrest and persecution the police department uses wanted posters to alert every common man to oblige with them and help them to catch the suspect. Wanted posters must be displayed in crowded places, in supermarkets where most of the persons expect to see them, and all the public places; such as stations, offices, markets lobbies, etc. Wanted posters are produced by any of the government or private agencies, railway secretaries, or companies that sustained a robbery or any serious crime. Police departments predominantly also issue wanted posters for the fugitives and bounties for them are also offered to the person who provides the exact information that led to their capture. On modern wanted posters, one can see the fingerprints of the fugitive along with their identity.

In the year 2007, the American Federal Bureau of Investigation is known as the FBI, was started posting wanted posters on digital billboards in different cities and still working on expanding its capacity. It helped them to post a wanted notice immediately across the country and people noticed it instantly. In 2010, the FBI accepted and claimed that many of the cases had been solved with the help of electronic billboard publicity and many others have also been progressing through the Bureau’s publicity efforts on the whole. The United States also started a reward for justice program that offers more than $100 million for the information that helps to prevent terrorist attacks or any act that reflects terrorism and helps to bring justice and peace to their country.
