Best Answer

The question is not very clear as to that type of writing is being asked about.

As a general statement - in order to save time and space (police notebooks are not very big), law enforcement officers use a lot of abbreviations, professional jargon, and 'slang' words when making initial notes. These notes, which are always capable of being subpoeanad to court, are usually later rediced to a formal printed or typewritten report which more clearly spells out the initial information which was gathered.
