Note Taking for Police and Security Pt. 1 [Remastered]

Not the end all be all, but a good starting point on how to take notes for public safety workers (Police and security mainly). This is a remake of the "classic" FFT video by the same name. (    • Видео   ) I think you'll find it a product improved.

There is clearly much more that can be said and many other specific ways to take good notes. This video is meant to give you the core concepts that will make your notes more useful to you when you need them.



As a police field training officer (FTO) one of the most common issues for probationary officers/deputies/trainees to have is poor paperwork skills. Be it filling out forms or writing citations properly.

Note taking is integral to Police work, and is rarely trained to any standard outside of more advanced homicide investigation classes that street cops rarely get the opportunity to attend. I think this is a shame.

By teaching new officers/deputies/guards how to take effective notes we can greatly enhance their effectiveness on scene, increase their usefulness later on in an investigation, and give them the core requisite skills to write better Police reports.

Key to this is giving new recruit officers a structure on which they can make their own system for note taking. It isn't enough to just scribble things down on paper if we can't decipher them later on to write the report and, just as importantly, in a couple weeks when a detective has a question about the case.

Also critical is knowing how to conduct a good Police/Sheriff/Security field interview. In this video we dip into the topic of eliciting accurate and useful information from the person we are interviewing. Check out my website :www.freefieldtraining.com
