Spot Report refers to an immediate initial
investigative or incident report addressed to Higher
Headquarters pertaining to the commission of the
crime, occurrence of natural or man-made disaster or
unusual incidents involving loss of lives and damage
of properties. Such incidents must be acted upon and
reported to higher police office whether verbal or
written, within twenty-four hours.
The idea is to inform an immediate chief, which is a
standard operating procedure, considering the fact
that whatever happens in the area is a command
responsibility, or that one from higher police office
must be informed regarding the details relative to a
particular occurrence.
A Spot report may use a radiographic message form,
especially if the reporting unit is far from the
addressee or receiving higher police office
concerned. Information contained therein must be
complete, answering the 5Ws and1H.
