You can write reports more confidently and efficiently when you recognize that there are four basic types of reports. Learning their special characteristics and requirements of each type makes the writing process much easier.
Criminal Justice 2: A Closer Look at Report WritingJean Reynolds
This document discusses principles of police report writing. Reports can be written by hand, typed, or filled into a form and will be read by supervisors, prosecutors, attorneys, reporters and officials. Reports provide information for further investigation, record details of incidents, demonstrate professionalism, build legal cases, and supply statistics. When writing, officers must reconstruct past events, consider different witness accounts, remain objective, and document evidence collection attempts factually without guesses. Good report writing requires skills like orienting oneself, pacing distances, and accurately describing appearances, interviews, and details.
Criminal Justice 1: What is a Professional Report?Jean Reynolds
This document discusses the importance of police report writing and the qualities of an effective report. A well-written report documents actions, provides statistical data, aids investigations, and demonstrates professionalism. An efficient report only includes necessary facts and logically sequences information. A thorough report has all details needed for follow-up like dates, locations, evidence. A professional report uses standard English and follows agency guidelines. An objective report states only observed facts without opinions or judgments.
Criminal Justice 3: Prepare to Write a ReportJean Reynolds
Officers should prepare to write police reports by bringing writing materials to the scene, observing details, and taking thorough notes. Important information in a report includes what happened, statements from those involved, investigative actions taken, contact information, evidence handling, and legal details. When writing reports, officers should include specific details to establish probable cause, describe individuals, explain injuries and evidence handling. Effective interview tips are dealing with emotions first, providing privacy, asking for clarification, and using quotation marks for exact statements.
Criminal Justice 9: How Helpful is OJT?Jean Reynolds
OJT (on-the-job training) is useful for learning skills needed for police report writing but has limitations. It may perpetuate outdated practices like passive voice and avoiding names. It also fails to teach theoretical principles and new strategies. Relying solely on OJT can prevent adopting improved approaches like bullet points, which provide advantages like speed, efficiency, and better organization. While OJT is part of learning, officers must also update their skills and advocate for changes to outdated requirements.
This document discusses guidelines for quoting exact words in a police report. It emphasizes that using precise quotes, correct punctuation, and avoiding unnecessary repetition are important. Quotes should be written verbatim, even if they include objectionable language. Punctuation like commas and periods must be inside the closing quotation marks in American English. Following these guidelines helps ensure reports are clear, professional, and can help investigations by capturing a suspect's speech patterns.
Criminal Justice 4: Organizing and Writing a ReportJean Reynolds
The document discusses guidelines for organizing and writing effective police reports. It recommends starting to organize information at the crime scene by noting details about yourself, victims, witnesses, suspects, evidence and the disposition. When writing the report, follow your agency's procedures and include an opening sentence with key details like date, time, location, names of those involved and the nature of the call. Each subsequent paragraph should focus on a witness, victim or suspect. Include all investigative steps, contact information, verbatim quotes, evidence details and fully explain how the case was resolved.
Writing a Police Report That's CompleteJean Reynolds
Police reports must be complete to stand up in court. Incomplete reports can result from passive voice, stating opinions rather than facts, and omitting search results. Passive voice leaves out who performed an action. Opinions are unlikely to be accepted in court; facts such as a car crossing the center line three times are needed. Search results, such as finding no fingerprints, must be included to provide a full account of the investigation. Complete reports use active voice and specific details rather than labels or opinions.

Although police reports seem different from one another, most of them fall into just four types. That's the good news. Even better: Each types builds on the previous one. Learn how to recognize - and write - the four types of police reports in this short video. You can download a free chart to go with this PowerPoint at www.YourPoliceWrite.com.
This document discusses using bullet style when writing police reports. Bullet style lists information in brief points using bullets rather than complete sentences. It is an efficient way to organize facts and ideas in a report. Bullet style lists do not require full sentences, complex grammar, capitalization or punctuation. Using bullet style offers advantages like speed, efficiency and simple organization of information when writing reports.
This document discusses objectivity in police reports. It defines objectivity as including only factual information - what was seen and heard without personal opinions. Subjective language to avoid includes descriptions of a person's mental state or conclusions. The document provides examples of subjective versus objective language. Using direct quotes is emphasized. Maintaining objectivity demonstrates professionalism, increases credibility in court, and avoids needing to defend subjective assessments.
This document discusses the four types of police reports that officers should be familiar with:
Type 1 reports involve the officer recording information but taking no action. Type 2 reports involve the officer recording information and taking action like an investigation or arrest. Type 3 reports involve the officer becoming part of the scenario, such as pursuing a suspect. Type 4 reports involve the officer initiating involvement after seeing or hearing something suspicious, and probable cause must be included. The document provides details on the requirements and characteristics of each type of report.
This document provides guidance on principles of criminal investigations and report writing. It discusses the basics of what constitutes an investigation and investigator. It outlines the legal standards of probable cause and reasonable suspicion that authorize the beginning of an investigation. The document provides tips for effective report writing, including writing in first person, chronological order, past tense, and active voice. It emphasizes the importance of clarity, accuracy, and avoiding missing information. Basic English grammar rules are also reviewed, such as subject-verb agreement, pronoun reference, and spelling. The goal is to help officers write reports that fully and clearly convey all pertinent facts and details of an investigation.
Police writing is different in some important ways from the writing you may have done in high school and college. You still need many of the usage and writing skills you learned in school, but you also need to master the special requirements of police reports.
This document discusses the proper use of terminology in police reports. It advises that some criminal justice terminology is useful for accurately representing events, demonstrating adherence to procedures, and appearing professional. However, terminology should not be overly complex, substitute jargon for plain language, or confuse readers. Some terms like burglary, robbery and Miranda rights are appropriate, but words that waste time or cause confusion should be avoided. Reports also should not use offensive, sexually charged, ethnic or disability-related slurs. Precise language without generalization helps make reports clear and time-efficient.
Common mistakes police officers make in reports include using unnecessary jargon, writing in passive voice which omits essential information, misusing capitalization, and making assumptions rather than reporting objective facts. The document provides 10 specific examples of common errors like placing punctuation outside quotation marks, misspelling words, and omitting the results of investigations. It recommends using active voice, precise language, and resources on report writing skills.
Police officers often need to document "probable cause" in their reports - justification for taking action such as making a traffic stop, performing a search, or initiating some other action. This video will help you understand what probable cause is, why it's so important, and how you can incorporate it into your police reports.
This document provides an overview of fundamentals of criminal investigation. It discusses characteristics of successful investigators including being objective, adjustable, and diplomatic. It outlines the basic types of investigations and steps in preliminary and follow-up investigations. It also covers interview and interrogation techniques, types of interviews, obtaining and recording information, and the difference between information and evidence in criminal cases.
This document provides guidance on conducting interviews and interrogations. It discusses establishing rapport with interviewees, reading body language for signs of deception, using alternative questioning techniques to obtain confessions, analyzing statements for truthfulness, and dealing with juveniles and requests for legal counsel. The goal is to objectively gather facts, discover new evidence and leads, and establish the truth through respectful but firm questioning.
Police reports often include direct quotations from witnesses, suspects, and victims. It is important for police officers to record quotes accurately, as exact wording can influence legal cases. The document provides tips for officers on how to take accurate notes of quotes, including listening carefully, taking notes with a small notebook, using quotation marks only for exact quotes, and placing punctuation inside quotation marks. Officers are advised to avoid repetitive questioning when getting statements to include in their reports.
Modern police reports feature active voice (not passive voice). Learn how to identify active and passive voice sentences, and review the advantages of writing in active voice.
Professional Sentence Patterns for Police Reports Part IJean Reynolds
Effective sentences are the building blocks for successful police reports - and they're essential tools as you climb the career ladder in law enforcement. This PowerPoint shows you how to write (and punctuate) two essential sentence patterns.
This memorandum provides a spot report on a re-stabbing incident that occurred in Butuan City, Philippines. According to the initial investigation, the victim, Jhon P. Rivera, was stabbed multiple times by a suspect while drunk at Rivera's Store in Brgy. Ongyiu. The victim received fourteen stab wounds and was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival due to blood loss. Evidence recovered from the scene includes a knife, blood stain, and saliva. The police are conducting a manhunt operation to apprehend the suspect.
This document discusses different types of evidence that can be used in criminal cases. It summarizes the two main types of evidence as testimonial evidence, which includes witness statements, and physical evidence, which refers to tangible items found at a crime scene. It then provides more details on various sub-categories of physical evidence such as trace evidence, transient evidence, and class evidence. The document also mentions Locard's exchange principle which states that contact between items will result in an exchange of trace evidence.
You've probably spent a lot of time learning how to write police reports. Why not take a look at what NOT to do when you write a report? This PowerPoint reviews basic principles officers need to think about when writing reports.
This document provides an overview of law enforcement procedures for criminal investigations, including preliminary investigations, securing crime scenes, collecting evidence, and forensic analysis techniques. It discusses protocols for responding to and documenting crime scenes, as well as collecting trace evidence like fingerprints, ballistics, and DNA. Advanced technologies like AFIS, NIBIN, and superglue fuming have improved the ability to identify suspects and link crimes through physical evidence analysis.
Village Wooing: A Play about Reading and WritingJean Reynolds
Village Wooing, a 1933 play by Bernard Shaw, is an unusual love story. Embedded in the play are some important ideas about language, reading, and writing.

This document provides guidelines for formatting manuscripts for publishing using a computer. It advises writers that computers are typesetters, not typewriters, and can think independently if given confusing commands. The key guidelines are to use styles consistently, use the space bar only once after periods and words, never use the tab key or enter key wildly, and respect the computer's ability to format text. Understanding and following these rules will help writers maintain control over their manuscript's formatting.
This document provides an analysis of George Bernard Shaw's play "A Ship A Shop". It summarizes that the play tells a story of a man and woman meeting on a ship with opposing views, as the man wants a wealthy woman and the woman wants adventure, but they both learn to value domestic life over lavish experiences. The analysis also notes that Shaw avoids commentary and leaves interpretation open, exploring themes of language, uncertainty, and how meaning is negotiated in a theatrical performance.
Bernard Shaw's play about poverty, wealth, and warfare, is also unusually preoccupied with theater. This presentation looks at Major Barbara in the context of metatheater - "the theater examining itself."
This low-cost, practical book covers everything you need to know about writing effective police reports. Exercises, practice tests, and an answer key are included.
What Your English Teacher Didn't Tell YouJean Reynolds
The document discusses three main ideas:
1) Writing should showcase the writer's experiences and ideas rather than just filling space. Stories are an effective way to engage readers.
2) Many English usage rules were invented by Lindley Murray in the 18th century without linguistic expertise, and some may not withstand scrutiny.
3) Critical thinking is needed when evaluating English usage rather than relying on rules from teachers. Usage changes over time, and rules from different fields like science may not apply to everyday writing.
But I'm Not an English Teacher Part ThreeJean Reynolds
You don't have to be an English whiz to write effective police reports - or to be an effective instructor. This is the third of three PowerPoints offering practical tips for solving common writing problems.
But I'm Not an English Teacher Part TwoJean Reynolds
You don't have to be an English whiz to write effective police reports - or to be an effective instructor. This is the second of three videos offering practical tips for solving common writing problems.
But I'm Not an English Teacher! Part OneJean Reynolds
Many academy instructors feel uncomfortable teaching report writing. Isn't that a job for English teachers? This PowerPoint has a reassuring answer: There aren't many usage issues, and they're easily dealt with.
Effective Public Speaking for Police OfficersJean Reynolds
There are many good reasons for you to develop your public speaking skills. A law enforcement career provides many opportunities to talk with the media and the public. You'll build confidence - and be well prepared for career advancement.
This document provides guidance on the proper use of apostrophes in English grammar. It explains that apostrophes are used to indicate possession or an omitted letter or digit, not to form plurals. Key rules covered include using an apostrophe before the "s" when making something possessive if it is singular and after the "s" if it is plural. Possessive pronouns like "his", "hers" and "its" do not use apostrophes. Examples are provided to demonstrate these rules for words, names and pronouns. Readers are directed to the author's website for additional apostrophe exercises and practice.
Jean Reynolds is a longtime English instructor, editor, consultant, and professional writer. She offers a new approach to building your writing skills and confidence quickly and efficiently. She is the author of "What Your English Teacher Didn't Tell You," a guide to excellent writing for tasks in school, college, the workplace, the community, and personal enrichment.
In this PowerPoint you'll learn which information in a research paper requires documentation; you'll also learn about citations and Works Cited entries.
This document provides instructions for drafting a research paper. It discusses including an attention-grabbing introduction with background information and a thesis statement. The body should have multiple paragraphs supporting each main idea from the outline. It concludes with wrapping up the key points. An example paper about ragtime music's impact is used to illustrate the parts of a research paper.
Part III Organizing Your Research PaperJean Reynolds
This document discusses how to organize a research paper. It recommends using a thesis statement and supporting ideas structure. The thesis states the main argument, such as "Ragtime changed American musical history." Supporting ideas then provide evidence for the thesis in separate paragraphs. For example, supporting ideas for how ragtime changed music could be that it introduced a unique American music, led to collaboration between black and white musicians, and gained attention from European artists. Organizing the paper this way provides a framework that readers can follow to understand the argument.
This document provides guidance on writing a research paper, focusing specifically on developing a thesis statement. It emphasizes that a good thesis must be a complete sentence that states the main point or idea to be explored in the paper. The thesis should then be supported with three convincing supporting points. An example thesis and supporting points are provided about a teenager asking for help buying a used car. Finally, the document stresses that a thesis must present an idea that can be unpacked with evidence rather than being a question or fact.
The document provides guidance on writing compelling memoirs and personal essays. It suggests shedding inhibitions to access inner truths and embracing vulnerability. Various anecdotes are provided about the author's writing struggles and lessons learned through teaching, graduate school, and publishing. Writing tips include starting with interesting parts of the story, adding details, finding one's voice, using a discovery draft approach followed by structure, and focusing on effective sentences. The overall message is that memoir writing involves exposing oneself and one's experiences while mastering certain concepts and tools.
