PART XI – NARRATIVE OF INCIDENT
Please provide a detailed description of the circumstances surrounding the accidental death of the victim officer or
attach a copy of the written summation of the initial incident report. This narrative can provide pertinent details that
may be incorporated into officer training programs and are often difficult to capture in a “question and answer”
format. The success of our endeavors to prevent further line-of-duty deaths depends largely on the quality of data
obtained from the victim officer’s agency.
