A discussion on the importance of reports in the criminal justice system and the actual content of reports is also presented. The differences between facts, inferences, opinions, and judgments are examined. Chapters on the elements of crime and police diction and usage are designed as reference sections; the latter discusses grammar, punctuation, and spelling and provides numerous exercises.

Download or read book Writing Police Reports written by Alec Ross and published by M T I Film & Video. This book was released on 1977-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical guide to writing police reports is designed to teach officers both basic writing skills for clear, concise reporting and techniques for interrogation and information selection and assembly. This lesson in writing mechanics covers basic grammar skills, usage, and style. The process of assembling information is also detailed, including note-taking techniques, questions to be asked during the investigation, and approaches to use in taking statements from witnesses. Notes should cover all pertinent information while remaining brief and concise. In addition, a sequence of events must be established by utilizing investigative techniques. Simply stating a conclusion without offering supporting evidence is an ineffective means of report writing. After all forms have been completed and the note-taking process ends, the narrative report must be filled out. This involves using vocabulary that is precise, objective and accurate. Examples at various narratives are included. It is stressed that fanciful dialogue and opinion should be discarded for fact and a style that is immediately understandable. Revising a report is often necessary to polish the material into a finished product that meets the goals established for it. Accurate descriptions of items often lost or stolen will hasten the recovery process, and an outline of information to be recorded for such items is provided. A list of clothing descriptions is furnished as well.
