Which report records daily activities?

• A. Case Report
• B. Background Investigation Report
• C. Surveillance Report
• D. Incident Report

Answer: (A)

Tracking ongoing case work as it happens is the key idea here. A Case Report is the document that records what you do on a daily basis—the actions taken, conversations, leads pursued, people contacted, notes added, and the results or next steps, all organized in a chronological way. This creates a complete, day-by-day narrative of the investigation so anyone reviewing the file can understand how the case progressed and what remains to be done.

In contrast, a Background Investigation Report pulls together information about a person’s history and background rather than day-to-day case activity. A Surveillance Report focuses on what is observed during a specific surveillance period, usually detailing sightings and behavior during that operation. An Incident Report is used to document a particular event or incident, with details about what happened and who was involved, rather than the full sequence of daily case activities.
