This training tool combines the
basics of two disciplines: investigation and report writing; and
bridges the gap between them. Not designed to teach how to write, this
book instructs on how to write a police report. Guidelines for
investigative reports are established through a set of rules that are
easy to understand and apply in any type of report-writing scenario, and
the book provides numerous examples of how these principles work.
Topics covered are investigation basics, note taking, the rules of
narrative writing, describing persons and property, crime reports,
arrest reports, writing search warrants, and automated report writing.
For those employed in law enforcement, corrections training
personnel, and police department staff that utilize an automated records
management system.
