Module 04 Course Project – Police Incident Report Rough Draft

Using the Course Project Case Scenario, complete a rough draft for your police incident report using the guidelines below.

Remember, this is a rough draft. Your instructor will provide feedback.

Police Incident Report

Includes the following:

• Casefile
• Date/time of the incident
• Location
• Officer involved
• Witness, suspect, victim, or any other persons involved in the case
• Final disposition of the case

Narrative

The Narrative includes:

• Who (victims, suspects, witnesses, any relevant behavior)
• What (the crime details that could stand as evidence in a trial; any description or communication between you and others that gets to the facts. Include key quotations from interviews)
• When (timing of your arrival and visit; timing of events of the crime, etc.)
• Where (all locations relevant to the crime)
• How (how offense was committed)
• Why (If possible, describe what a motive could be. This is the only time you make an intelligent guess)

Conclusion/Final Dispositions

Report on how your visit to the crime scene ended. Was an arrest made? Did anyone go to the hospital? Is there more follow up to be done? Should the case be sent in for charging? If not, what recommendations do you have for pursuing the case from crime scene to conviction?

• Complete a rough draft copy of the Police Incident Report using your rough draft.
