Answer:
Incident reports are used to document noteworthy circumstances that don’t amount to a crime.
Example: I get called to a residence to take a report on a stolen vehicle. On arrival, I find the complainant is intoxicated. He claims his car was stolen from outside the bar where he was drinking. Department policy is that crime reports are not to be taken from intoxicated people. Further, a phone call reveals that the complainant parked his car in a way that blocked a portion of the parking lot. When he was asked to move the car, he laughed and said he couldn’t be required to move the car because he was drunk.
The bartender called a tow service and had them remove the car. When the complainant left the bar, he found his car was gone. He told the bartender he was going to report the car as stolen, and he would name the bartender as the thief. The bartender told him to do whatever he felt the need to do.
The car wasn’t stolen, but I didn’t want to have the complainant file the case of an internal affair against me for refusing to take a report. I wrote an incident report, and never heard another word about it.
