What is required when an officer reports damage or loss of District Government property?

When an officer reports damage or loss of District Government property, it is essential to document the incident accurately using the designated PD Form 43. This form serves as an official record and ensures that the report follows the correct procedural and administrative guidelines set forth by the department. The use of a specific form helps to standardize reporting, facilitating a clear and systematic approach for tracking incidents of damage or loss. It also ensures that all pertinent details are captured and can later be referenced if needed.

Utilizing the PD Form 43 provides a formal protocol that reinforces accountability and supports any necessary follow-up actions regarding the incident. This structured approach is essential in maintaining the integrity of records related to government property and helps in assessing the impact of such incidents on department operations. Proper reporting is vital for both internal reviews and potential investigations that may arise from the loss or damage.
