Exercises in Report Writing
23 Minutes
2009
APPLICATION:
The Security Officer, whether in a healthcare, governmental or industrial setting, is charged with creating effective reports for administrative, civil and criminal case review. Most training programs limit themselves to a didactic presentation of what is expected in a report but at the same time they fail to give the officer the chance to write a report and have it critiqued against not only a fixed standard but even compared to the same report written by the officer's peers.
On completion of training, the officers should be able to:
1. Write a report that will support the officer's action and the facility's policies.
2.
Enter factual information from an objectively and repeatedly viewed scene in a
clear,
concise and organized manner.
3. Organize the narrative of a report so that it follows a logical and defensible timeline.
4.
Organize a report that answers the traditional who, what, when,
where, why and
how questions
and goes beyond
these to reflect complete reporting of all participants in the event.
This program is designed to
provide trainers and officers a fixed framework for
analysis,
critiques and
practice.
