Short explanation

File a police report + write a statement

One of you is the police officer, the other the victim/witness. 

The victim/witness writes down what has happened. The police officer fills in the police report. The stories must match. 

You'll do this assignment again but you'll switch roles. This means you'll be the police officer and the victim/witness.

Short explanation

Video recording

Once you've finished writing the police report and statement (both times) you will have a conversation with you classmate. Use your police file and statement to practice. 

One of you is the police officer and the other the victim/witness. You'll practice first and video record your conversation. You'll send in the best possible recording.

File a police report + write a statement

Writing: the police officer has to fill in the report (see next slide). The victim or witness has to write out the time, date, place, what has happened to him, what the criminal looked like etc. He/she does this to remember the event. > WORK TOGETHER ON THIS. Otherwise your stories won’t match.

You must write out both roles per person. This cannot be the same document. So each of you have a victim/witness report and a police report.

Minimum of 200 words for the police file and statement (that means a minimum of 400 words per person)

 

Witness/victim statement

Write down:

• When it happened: (time, date)
  
• Where it happened (place)
  
• What has happened
  
• What the criminal looked like
  
• How you remember the event

Minimum of 200 words

Video recording

Things that have to be discussed during your conversation:

• Time, date, place
  
• Witness/victim has to spell his/her name
  
• Police need to tell the witness/victim his/her rights (look something up on the internet/movies, be creative!)
  
• The questions on the report file
  
• Next steps: what is going to be done by the police, what does the victim/witness need to do?
• Use your police file + statement

Video of you and your classmate using Microsoft Teams. 

One is the police officer and the other is the witness or victim. 

Make sure you practice a couple of times before recording it. 

You have to be seen on camera!
