What search pattern involves overlapping multiple lanes for thoroughness?

  1. Strip Line Search

  2. Grid Search

  3. Horizontal Search

  4. Split Line Search

The correct answer is: Grid Search

The grid search pattern is designed to ensure thoroughness by overlapping multiple lanes. This method involves conducting two series of searches that cross each other at right angles, creating a grid-like pattern. It allows searchers to cover the area comprehensively, minimizing the chances of missing any evidence or important details. The overlapping nature of this approach is particularly effective in ensuring no part of the area is overlooked, which is crucial in contexts such as crime scene investigations or locating contraband in corrections settings. This systematic approach enhances the reliability of the search results, making it a preferred method in various search operations.
