Usually this is an internal administrative requirement of his agency. Under normal circumstnaces, and ideally, the formal report(s) are to be submitted prior to the end of their duty shift. However the law considers any information regarding a crime which was recorded by an officer in his official notebook, to constitute a legal "report." Contact you local law enforcement agency for their specific requirement.

Why is it important for police officers to carry tourniquets?

Police officers are at a high risk of sustaining gunshot or stab wounds to their extremities. Arterial blood loss can result in unconsciousness within minutes and death shortly thereafter. Often, police officers work alone and in areas where emergency medical response can be delayed. As a result, many police officers carry specialized tourniquets developed for the U.S. military that can be applied with one hand in order to stop blood loss quickly and allow the officer to survive long enough to reach emergency medical care.

Are police officers veterans?

Having military experience is not a pre-requisite to being a police officer. The word veteran refers to someone who is 'seasoned' or experienced in their job. A police vet or veteran police officer is often referred to a person that has been in law enforcement a long time with advanced law enforcement training. In Texas they are called Master Peace Officers, having begun their service as a Basic Peace Officer.
