As you can see, there are a lot of
things to keep in mind when writing and reading police reports. Pre-reading,
reading actively, identifying main ideas, understanding keywords, summarizing,
and asking questions are strong techniques for comprehending information in any
piece of writing. Effective
police officers also rely on their abilities to observe and memorize key
details to solve problems. These are the kinds of essential skills that will be
tested in the kinds of reading comprehension exams you can expect to take on
your way to becoming a police officer. Good luck!
