What must be attached to a DAR if a criminal act has been identified?

When a criminal act has been identified, it is essential to attach a copy of the Incident Report (IR) to the Detention Activity Report (DAR). The IR provides a comprehensive account of the events surrounding the incident, detailing the circumstances, actions taken, and individuals involved. This documentation is critical as it serves as a formal record of the incident and its specifics, which can be vital for further investigations, legal proceedings, and administrative reviews.

While other elements such as witness statements, medical reports, or prior discipline records may be relevant in specific situations, they do not provide the foundational account of the incident as the IR does. The IR acts as the primary source of information that captures the sequence of events and is usually the first document law enforcement or judicial entities will reference when reviewing the case. Therefore, attaching a copy of the IR to the DAR ensures that all pertinent information regarding the criminal act is accurately recorded and readily available for future reference.
