In what scenario would officers typically declare a 'Suspicious Package'?

Routine package deliveries
Packages abandoned in high traffic areas
Packages that are heavy and leaking
Post office mail sorting

The correct answer is: Packages abandoned in high traffic areas

Declaring a 'Suspicious Package' typically occurs in situations involving packages abandoned in high traffic areas. Such environments increase the potential threat to public safety, as these packages can be more easily accessed by individuals and pose a risk to large groups of people. Officers are trained to recognize that abandoned items in these settings can alert the potential for harmful situations, including terrorism or the presence of hazardous materials. Hence, the key consideration in this scenario is not just the package itself, but the context of its location and the inherent risks associated with it being unmonitored in a crowded area.
