CJ 202 Milestone One: Field Notes Guidelines and Rubric Overview: View the practice video provided for the milestones and complete this section . After viewing the practice video, create the field notes sheet using the critical elements below. In this scenario, you are the primary officer assigned to complete a report about this incident. Assemble a list of field notes based on your observations and on information that you consider to be necessary for the formulation of your report.

Cohesiveness of Field Notes : Your field notes should contain information on the observations and actions that are essential in informing a cohesive report. For example, if you observe the suspect wearing a red jacket with a specific insignia, your field notes should capture this data so that you may draw upon it in producing your Incident Report.
