Witness Statements and Timelines
This lesson covers gathering witness statements, building a reliable timeline, and safeguarding confidentiality to support a fair and defensible process.

Witness Statements and Timelines

Collect statements from witnesses using a standard template. Capture witness identity, date/time, observed events, and any supporting documentation. Ensure statements are voluntary and non-coercive.

Construct a chronological timeline by mapping events to dates, times, and actions. Validate consistency with the incident report and other records.

Maintain confidentiality and limit access to authorized personnel only.
