1. What is a Police Report?

➢ A police report is an official document prepared by law
enforcement agencies to record information about criminal
activities or potentially illegal incidents. It typically contains
comprehensive details such as the nature of the crime, where it
occurred, individuals involved, and a chronological account of
what transpired. On the other hand, an incident report is similar in
purpose but differs in origin. It is typically generated by the
victim, witness, or a party directly involved in the incident, rather
than by law enforcement. Similar to a police report, it documents
the specifics of an event, including what happened, where it
occurred, and who was involved, but it may lack the formal legal
authority and thorough investigation associated with a police
report.
