The following statement should be written ABOVE ANY report an officer is ordered to write by either a supervisor or a member of the internal affairs division. This insures that the report can only be used against an officer in internal investigations and not used later should criminal charges of any type follow:

It is my understanding that this report is made for administrative, internal police department purposes only and will not be used as part of an official investigation. This report is made by me after being ordered to do so by lawful supervisory officers. It is my understanding that by refusing to obey an order to write this report that I can be disciplined for insubordination and that the punishment for insubordination can be up to and including termination of employment. This report is made only pursuant to such orders and the potential punishment/discipline that can result for failure to obey that order.
