I just watched this for the 4th time. Can’t thank you enough. I had numerous calls this weekend from fire alarms to a search for a student that involved multiple police agencies as well as EMS. Took me 2 hours to write one report.

Clear, Concise, and Complete.

I've been watching several of your videos as I'm going into my first security role.Thanks for making all of this educational content public. We really appreciate it!

[@CampoMentis]

Ugh I have to write way too many reports! This helps so much. Thank you! Sometimes I struggle with them but as a supervisor I need to have my reports in for Monday morning each week.

Do you require all your officers to use 10 codes out in the field? The college I work at there is a mix and you see the same with the local police department. I usually will say that I am on scene as opposed to using 10-23 and the same with 10-8 (in service). 4:26 Simple sentence structure is key in my opinion. Also depending on the software (Omnigo at my workplace) utilize the dispatch notes/logs as a good timeline. My try at a report. At approximately 00:00 on 01/01/2024 I (Officer Andersen) was dispatched to Geen Avenue for a report of an injured person. I arrived on scene at 00:03. On arrival I found a female lying on the sidewalk next 123 Green Avenue. The female explained that her name was Lizzy Lou and had fallen down on the sidewalk. Lizzy Lou was bleeding from the left knee and requested medics. Medics were dispatched at 00:04 and medic four was on scene at 00:09. Medic four treated Lou for a knee injury and transported Lou to Healing Hospital at 00:12. I (Officer Andersen) was back in service at 00:13. No other information to report at this time

I got a small tip for you. You don't use a semi colon in military time. It's simply 1703 not 17:03

I always write 2 reports the first one is saying what happened and what I saw, most of the time it's jumbled and out of order. On the second report I would "fancy-fy" you know take out my opinions, figure out which details are and are not needed, and put all the details in the proper order. Spelling is my Achilles heel that's what usually f**ks me up.

Write it on a computer with spell checker.

My favorite part! I love writing reports!

Lame asl

[@coocoo5756]

What if security guards lie to the police and they actually assaulted the victim and battered the victim but the victim requested a attonery when questioned by the police and security lied to the officers and victim gets charged. And gets proven innocent in a criminal trial … What type of consequences were to happen to the security guard and the security company?

Don’t put police or civil codes.

[@TitanProtection0911]

Great point!

Cops call it "creative writing"
