Law enforcement report
A police statement is a formal account given to law enforcement, typically by a witness, victim, or suspect regarding an incident under investigation.
The person provides their version of events, which officers record for official use: She gave a police statement about what she saw that night.
Such statements may later be used as evidence in court proceedings.
