required to complete each one.

The primary officer prepares the offense-incident report. If the information pertains a previously documented incident, the officer must prepare a supplemental report. A supplemental report should be attached to the primary officer's report. An office supervisor may be responsible for preparing certain reports following incidents such as officer use of force. Although officers write many types of reports, the focus here is operational reports. Operational reports are generally linked to three major categories: offense-incident reports, arrest affidavits, and supplemental or follow-up reports.

All reports are not written the same way. Before beginning a report, an officer should consider the circumstances and situation he or she is trying to document. A burglar report, for example, will have different information and may be in a different form, than a found property report.

Other incidents that require reports include the following:

•all crimes

•use of force by an officer

•suicide / natural death

•found property

•runaway juvenile

•traffic crashes (under certain circumstances) as required by law

•miscellaneous noncriminal or suspicious incidents

•additional or supplemental information

Reports serve specific purposes that include examining past events, keeping other law enforcement officers informed, continuing investigations, preparing court cases, coordinating law enforcement activities, planning future law enforcement services, and evaluating law enforcement officers' performance.

TEXT 10

Global Police Cooperation

INTERPOL is the key agency for global law enforcement cooperation, but the United Nations, the Customs Cooperation Council, the G7 (Group of the world’s most highly industrialized nations), and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development also play important, if intermittent, roles in promoting cooperation. INTERPOL provides a system of multilateral communication of police information; it helps coordinate inquiries and its secretary general can initiate them.

The origins of INTERPOL are curious and its international status uncertain— some observers feel that the lack of a treaty basis for the organization detracts from its authority and legitimacy. But the organization is now almost universally accepted as an intergovernmental one. It has radically upgraded its computer and communications equipment, become more open with the media, dropped its practice of noninvolvement in terrorist cases, and has generally become more adaptable in the face of changing patterns of international crime. Although its reputation varies in the law enforcement community over time and according to region of the world, it is an indispensable communications system and an important link between national police forces.

The United Nations plays an essential supportive role in international law enforcement—as a forum in which international treaties can be negotiated (on subjects such as trafficking in people, crime prevention, and human rights), a repository for statistical and legal information about criminal matters, and provider of aid to improve the capacity for criminal law enforcement in less developed countries. Its biggest influence on practical law enforcement has been in the field of drug trafficking. The work of the United Nations’ Division of

Narcotic Drugs, established shortly after the founding of the UN, has since January 1992 amalgamated with other antidrug activities of the UN International Drug Control Program and promoted four basic conventions: the 1961 Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Drugs, the 1988 Vienna Convention (mainly concerned with law enforcement measures), and the 1999 Convention on Organized Crime.

The harmonization of efforts in drug law enforcement and the repression of financial crime has been supported by the action of the Group of Seven, through measures against money laundering, including the setting up of a Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and

Development (OECD) and encouraging the setting up of national financial intelligence units. These latter members of an international network known as the Egmont Group, act as clearinghouses for information and are national points of contact.
