What should be excluded from the content of Administrative Messages?

Administrative Messages are intended to convey essential information regarding law enforcement activities without delving deeply into case-specific detail. The main purpose of these messages is to facilitate communication and coordination between agencies and personnel, providing a concise overview rather than exhaustive content.

Copying and pasting case reports into Administrative Messages is not appropriate because case reports typically contain numerous details, including sensitive information, which could compromise confidentiality and data integrity. Furthermore, Administrative Messages should be succinct and focused, highlighting only the crucial elements relevant to the administrative functions instead of presenting a complete narrative or detailed case account.

In contrast, basic case details, citations from previous reports, and descriptive summaries of events can serve useful functions in supporting the operational context or providing necessary references that inform the ongoing work of the involved parties. This allows for clarity and continuity in communications while maintaining respect for privacy and the nature of the information being handled.
