Create Witness Interview Questions Before You Need Them

What You'll Get

A structured list of witness interview questions that capture everything needed for a legally complete statement.

The Prompt

Give me 8 questions to ask a witness to a [type of incident, e.g., "vehicle theft in a parking garage"] to collect a complete, legally useful witness statement. Include questions about what they saw, when, where, any descriptions, and their contact information.

Tips

Create one list per common incident type (theft, assault, vehicle incidents, trespass) and keep them saved as notes on your phone — generate them before your shift starts, not when you have a witness standing in front of you.
