Show answer
Answer: C. Silver Notice traces criminal assets. Blue Notice collects more information about a person's identity, location or activities. Black Notice seeks information on unidentified bodies. Green Notice warns about a person's criminal activities where they may threaten public safety. So A-4, B-2, C-1, D-3.
Watch for: The new Silver Notice (2025) is the least known, so students guess it from colour alone.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Silver Notice is about criminal assets, not warnings.
- B. Wrong because Silver Notice is about assets and Green Notice is about warnings.
- D. Wrong because Blue Notice is for extra information and Black Notice is for unidentified bodies.
