Preserve evidence promptly
- Identify the source: photos, footage, messages, transaction records, system logs, or written statements.
- Use your approved process to preserve relevant evidence before retention windows expire.
- Keep the incident report separate from any disciplinary decision, and use consistent facts in both.
Common mistakes
Replacing facts with labels
Describe the words, actions, dates, and standards a reader can verify. Do not assign a motive.
Leaving the next step unclear
