The example below is a common format used for criminal and incident type reports written by deputies, which can be applied to any online report:
“On Friday, January 1, 2016, at approximately 8:15 AM, I parked my car in the Food Mart parking lot, located at 1234 Food Dr., in Goleta. I left my car unlocked since I was planning to return quickly. While I was inside the Food Mart, I had realized I left my cellphone on top of the center console of my car. When I returned to my car, at approximately 8:20 AM, I discovered my car’s front passenger door was ajar and my cellphone was gone. I did not see who stole my cellphone or know who could have stolen it. This report is for documentation purposes only.”

Thank you to @maddcalifornia for all their efforts to prevent drunk and drugged driving within our communities. Last Wednesday, MADD recognized deputies, officers and prosecutors throughout the tri-county areas who have gone above and beyond to save lives by addressing drunk driving and removing impaired drivers from our roads. 👏🏼

PLEASE WATCH: Train Safety PSA 🛤️
↔️ Always look both ways. Trains can come from any direction, at any time.
🚧 Only cross railroad tracks at a designated crossing. Designated crossings are marked by a sign, lights or a gate.
🚦If lights are flashing or the gate is down at a railroad crossing, wait for the train to pass completely and the gate to go back up before crossing. It is never okay to try and beat the train.
🚶🏽♀️Don’t be tempted to walk on or along the tracks. Trains are at least three feet wider than the tracks on either side.
🚆A train can take up to a mile to stop. By the time the locomotive engineer sees someone or something on the tracks ahead; it is too late to stop.
