What are the qualities of a report used by law enforcement? Why do you think they are challenges and how could they impact the overall report?

Police reports usually have a front sheet, called a lead sheet, that is fill in the blanks. Behind the lead sheet, there can be other supplemental fill in the blanks sheets for specialized crime reporting. Things like auto theft or missing persons sometimes have their own supplemental sheet. Then comes the narrative portion of the report.

Narratives are usually organized chronologically. Some departments require these narratives to be written in third person. Always write these reports with a vocabulary and sentence structure consistent with an 8th grade reading level. This should make them clear to the majority of people reading them.

In your report you must establish venue, elements of the offense, and chain of custody. The chain of custody will be supported with property receipts and forensic science reports. The narrative must relate what happened in general, what witnesses said, victim statements, and your actions. your actions will include things like area canvasses and arrests or field interviews that were without remarkable information.

Always think about the questions who, what, when, where and why! Answer these questions and you are probably home free! Finally, label factual evidence and anecdotal information. Your opinions do not go into the police report.
