NACA Animal Control Officers Practice Test

What is included in an investigation pocket?

1. Only photographs of the scene

2. All incident reports

3. Just the witness statements

4. Photographs from social media

The correct answer is: All incident reports

The investigation pocket is designed to hold comprehensive documentation relevant to an incident, and this includes all incident reports. These reports are crucial as they provide detailed accounts of the situation, including timelines, actions taken, and observations made by the responding animal control officers. By including all incident reports in the investigation pocket, it ensures that every piece of relevant information is available for review and analysis, aiding in thoroughness and accuracy during investigations. Photographs of the scene, witness statements, and items from social media can also be important components of an investigation, but they do not encompass the full breadth of documentation that all incident reports provide. All incident reports collectively give a broader scope of the event than any single type of evidence could offer.
