When describing an incident: Please describe the incident with as much detail as possible and use specific, concise, objective language. Focus on the incident's Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why. Indicate specific people, words, phrases, and interactions. Please try to use specific names instead of pronouns (he, she, etc.) when referring to people in the body of the report. We encourage direct quotes, even when the language may be profane or abusive. For example, "Joe Jaguar shook his fist at me and said 'you are a stupid loser'" is more helpful than "Joe Jaguar was threatening and used aggressive language with me."
