Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Asvab / Paragraph Comprehension 12


Law enforcement officers often do not like taking  time from their regular duties to testify in court,  but testimony is an important part of an officer’s job. 
To be good witnesses, officers should keep complete  notes detailing any potentially criminal incidents. 
When on the witness stand, officers may refer to  these notes to refresh their memory about particular  events. It is also very important for officers to listen  carefully to the questions asked by the lawyers  and to provide only the information requested.
