In February, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was arrested for assault in Las Vegas. You can read the police report below.

A line or two at the bottom seems to be missing. A news story about the case states that a video confirms what Detective Bone reported.

The report is remarkably well written! Detective Bone is an excellent writer. The sentence structure is professional. Everything is written in active voice. The word choices are natural and simple.

My only question is about some of the repetition. Detective Bone identifies himself twice, for example. The report includes an event number. Nowadays that information should have been recorded elsewhere on the laptop. Detectives are busy! They shouldn’t be required to write basic facts twice.

Otherwise, however, this is a superb report! I recommend studying it and using it as a model.
