PART IX – NARRATIVE OF INCIDENT
Please provide a detailed description of the circumstances surrounding the felonious assault or death of the victim
officer or attach a copy of the written summation of the initial incident report. Also, if the offender(s) was located or
apprehended later, please provide additional details, such as, when, where, and by whom was the offender located.
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/assaults depends largely on the quality of data obtained from the victim officer’s agency.
