Balancing Detail, Clarity & Brevity for Maximum Impact!

Want to improve your report writing to the point where you might even enjoy it?

Let a professionally trained writer and experienced police detective help!

Det. Andie Metzger understands the challenges, frustrations and pitfalls of report writing better than most.

As a top journalism graduate and successful police officer, she masterfully combines both "worlds" to teach veteran and new officers how to:

• Consistently establish the hard-to-find balance between too much information and not enough.
• Use the 5-step "outline approach" to help reports flow sequentially and understandably.
• Avoid falling victim to the more than 80 commonly misused words and phrases that can diminish credibility and weaken reports.
• Use strategically developed photography techniques to strengthen your case.
• Ensure that the use of street jargon doesn't confuse jurors and weaken report clarity.
• Avoid stepping over the fine line between stating facts and drawing conclusions in your reports.

It's a fact: reports can make or break cases. Make sure yours are rock solid!
