What are the ramifications of a poorly written police report?
What will be an ideal response?
A poorly prepared report can easily become evident when one officer tries to read another officer’s reports and tries to interpret what is being said. If an official report is difficult to understand, the complaint-issuing process will be bogged down, and it will be difficult for the prosecutor to decipher the facts and circumstances of the case. In addition, a poorly written report gives the defense attorney a tool to use during trial to confuse the officer’s testimony and to muddle the issue.
