Including the right information in your criminal justice reports depends on many things. It is very important that you develop a habit of asking the right questions in order to collect the right information, taking detailed notes, and always keeping your information organized. You must ensure that the information you put in your reports is specific and accurate in order to ensure individuals are readily identified, facts regarding possible criminal activity lead to or show the necessary probable cause and that any action by law enforcement during the incident or post-incident investigation does not violate anyone’s civil rights or Constitutional protections.
