Police Reports

This is a police report from an accident that occurred in Oklahoma.  I do feel that there is some sort of bias here, because the accident involved Oklahoma State Basketball coach Eddie Sutton.  Because Sutton is well known, the person that made the police report stated Sutton was the head coach of the basketball team.  I do not think it's necessary to say he's the coach of the basketball team.  He is just like everyone else and does not need more publicity because he was in a car accident.  This will our help our project produce the proper documentation for a police report from a real accident.

This is an example of a "walk-in" police report.  This happens when the police do not respond to your accident, but it's highly unlikely that they wont.  In case they do, this is the sort of documentation one will fill out, by going to the police station on their own.   Many of the parts of this page are confusing, but that is because they are for the police to fill out.  The narrative is where the person writes their side of the story.  This will give us the more less formal viewpoint of the actual person in the accident, which might be easier to understand.

The article here tells a person how they can go about acquiring and using a police report to help pay for injuries sustained from a car accident.  These police reports will help in court, and can help get leverage for negotiations in a personal injury case.  The police reports has witness reports attached to it and can help make a case against the defendant.  For our project, we can use this to tell someone how to go about obtaining a police report.

This shows the main parts of a police report.  Instead of searching through a real police report and writing down the essentials, we can already have them in our hands.  It also shows that the officer that wrote the report could have made mistakes about the speed each car was going and generally who's fault it was.  The bullets listed on the website are what I will be using to write my own police report.
