An apostrophe means one of two things - either you're leaving out some letters (like can't means cannot or doesn't means does not) or you are indicating possession. If you put an apostrophe after the word suspects, you get suspects' which means "belonging to the suspects." An example sentence would be something along the lines of "The suspects' belongings are at the police desk."
To show possession after the word "suspects," you would add an apostrophe followed by the letter "s." For example: "The suspects' fingerprints were found at the crime scene."
The possessive form of the plural noun "suspects" is "suspects'".
The apostrophe goes before the "s" in "offenders," making it "offenders'." This indicates that something belongs to the offenders.
