1.What are legal forms?

Legal forms are documents that are used in legal transactions or proceedings. They can
be models or samples that provide language for contracts, wills, leases, pleadings,
motions, and other instruments1. They include the essential matters, technical terms,
and additional material required to make them accurate and adaptable. Legal forms
follow the legal or technical manner or order that is necessary for the validity or
amendment of the documents or processes.

2.How do you defined police report?

A chronological account of an incident that happened at any given time and place. it
could also be defined as an account of an investigation, or an official statement of facts.
A document that details all of the facts, circumstances, and timeline of events
surrounding an incident.

3.What are the purposes of police report?

The purpose of police reports is not to issue charges for alleged crimes, which is the
duty of a prosecutor such as a district attorney or judge. It’s only after a prosecutor
issues charges to an alleged offender that a court case is opened. This is one example
of when a police report enters the judicial picture; another example is when a person
chooses to bring a lawsuit against someone in a civil matter.
Although police officers investigate crimes, a police report doesn’t drive the judicial
process in either of these two examples. Instead, it serves as an unbiased account by
law enforcement of the details surrounding an incident.

4.What are the important uses of report writing?

 To inform others: Reports can provide factual information, data, analysis, or findings on a
specific topic or issue.
 To persuade others: Reports can present arguments, opinions, recommendations, or
solutions to convince the readers or decision-makers to take a certain action or adopt a
certain position.
 To encourage others: Reports can motivate, inspire, or acknowledge the readers or the
people involved in the report topic or issue.
5.What are the criteria to be considered in report writing?
1. CLARITY- the writer is duty-bound to serve his readers by letting them understand
easily what he is trying to get across. Accuracy.
2. ACCURACY- police communications should conform exactly to the truth or to a standard.
- they should be without error, precise, exact, and correct.
3. BREVITY- saying much in fewer words
4. Specificity- giving life to a sentence using particulars that call up shape, texture, color and
movement.
5. Timeliness- just like a spot report that should be submitted within twenty-four (24) hours,
any other police report should be submitted on time in order to serve its purpose.
6. Security- most police reports are either classified as Restricted, Confidential, Secret or
Top Secret.
7. Impartiality- the report should be based on facts and not the opinions of the writer. The writer
should then be always objective and avoid bias in presenting his reports.
8. Completeness- simple reports do not need all 5 W’s and 1 H, but as much as possible, the
writer should use at least the 5 W’s and 1H.
