Hi all,
Hoping to pickup any tips, tricks and suggestions for your field notes/note books.
I do the obvious, write down ins/out of service, out at xyz address for xyz at xx time kind of thing.
At shift start I write down when radar was function checked/taser was spark tested. I write down anyone/dob who was issued an infraction/citation, where issued, and what for.
I also write down the temperature, roadway conditions (wet, dry, snow, ice, etc), weather (sun/clear, overcast/rainy, fog, etc) as well as the wind.
I also list every partner that was on the shift.
Any other tips, tricks and suggestions?
