Report Writing Best Practices

Be Specific

Include exact times, locations, and descriptions. Avoid vague language like "near the store" - use specific addresses and landmarks.

Chronological Order

Write your narrative in the order events occurred. This makes reports easier to follow and review.

Link All Parties

Connect every involved person and vehicle to the report using the CAD's linking features for searchability.

Complete All Fields

Fill out every applicable field in the report form. Incomplete reports create gaps in the records system.
