This 8-hour course is designed to provide officers with an understanding of how to draft report narratives with defense-resiliency in mind.  This will be achieved by using the Gap-Free Narrative™ approach created by Offset Consulting LLC.

This approach to report writing was created by doctoral candidates and focuses on drafting a complete police narrative by standardizing the way officers think about and write their reports about an incident.  Under this lesson plan and the principles of the Gap-Free Narrative™ system, students will be taught how to use the system’s checklist and narrative breakdowns. This is a departure from many departments’ previously taught report writing methods and is research-based.

This new approach will teach how to analyze a narrative to ensure it has the parts necessary in it, and then employ a checklist to ensure all aspects of the reported-on incident are being documented.  Every type of police narrative, from stolen property to homicide, can be handled with ease when using the Gap-Free Narrative™ method properly.

STUDENTS MUST BRING A LAPTOP
