What constitutes a 'Witness Report'?

A 'Witness Report' refers specifically to an account of an event as observed by an individual who witnessed it. This type of report focuses on the personal observations and experiences of the witness, providing firsthand insight into what transpired. Witness reports are vital in investigations as they can offer unique perspectives that may not be captured in other types of documentation. They often include details such as the time, location, individuals involved, and specific actions that were observed.

The other options do not accurately describe a 'Witness Report.' An analysis of crime statistics focuses on data trends and patterns rather than individual observations. An official report filed by law enforcement is a formal document created by officers, often summarizing investigations or enforcement actions rather than being strictly from a civilian’s perspective. A summary of recorded incidents in a specific area would relate more to broader data collection or patterns in crime rather than a personal account, which is the essence of a witness report.
