The new police report manual
This book seeks to help police officers write better reports. The objective of writing a report is to communicate information as clearly and as accurately as possible, and the writer should use the approach best calculated to do that. The book gives numerous examples of what it calls an artificial style of writing and suggests ways to say the same thing in a natural, more informative style. It also gives examples of words and phrases in "gobbledygook" (wordy jargon, inflated, involved, and obscure verbiage) and translates them into plain talk. The plain talk versions are not only clearer, but also much shorter in almost every case.
