Police reports

The little pieces of paper you receive if you call the police, really are worth much.

If the police officer did not actually see or hear the abuse, it is here-say.

It is much better evidence to have a person who heard, saw, tasted, smelled, etc. the actual abuse that is willing to testify in court.

Anyone with personal knowledge can testify. If a police officer sees or hears anything, then you need to get their name, rank and phone number so that they can be asked to come to court to testify. NOW THAT IS POWERFUL!
