1. What is the difference between an administrative report and an operational

report? Which is more important to an organization?
-Operational Reports are narrative reports that play an important role in the
administration of justice since they are used in the prosecution of cases in court. Administrative
reports, on the other hand, are prepared solely for internal use as a foundation for administrative
decisions. Administrative reports are more essential since they may be utilized in inter-
agency conferences or activities such as command conferences to review whether agency
goals and targets are met for a given fiscal year.

2. Define narrative report writing. How does it differ from writing essays or literary
composition?
- Narrative report writing is most commonly utilized in the legal area. People write these
reports to settle disputes, submit complaints, or as evidence in court. A narrative report is meant
to tell a whole story, but a written essay is meant to convey a precise description of a certain
area, object, or concept.

3. What is the standard format used in the preparation of reports in the public safety
service?
-Memorandum Format - a “Memorandum For” format is used if the communication is
going upward (Meaning the recipient is higher in position, rank or designation than the originator
or sender of the memo). A “Memorandum To” format is used if the communication is going
downward (or if the recipient is lower in position, rank or designation than the originator or
sender).

4. Define a Spot Report. What is the main characteristic of this type of report? How does
it differ from an Incident Report?
- A spot report is a report on an incident that came about in a given place inside a public
safety officer’s jurisdiction which relates to commission of a crime, prevalence of disasters, or
uncommon incidents related to harm to properties, damage or lack of lives. It is generally submitted
inside 24 hours of the prevalence of the incident. The cause of the document is to straight away tell
a right away superior, generally the leader of police, approximately the incident in order that the
latter could make suitable operational choices or measures. Because all moves that mar upward
push from the incident may be construed as command responsibility. Spot report refers to a
preliminary investigative or incident report sent to higher headquarters straight away following the
behavior of a crime, the prevalence of an herbal or man-made disaster, or surprising situations
related to lack of lifestyles or assets harm.
 5. Which report are jump-off points of investigations designed to ferret out facts?
Explain.
-Incident Report because this report is to document the exact details of the occurrence
as basis for further actions of concerned public safety officers.
