When writing a report, especially in a formal context like police or incident reports, it’s important to focus on the facts related to the incident rather than personal information that may not be relevant. Including sensitive personal information can violate privacy rights and is generally not necessary for the report’s purpose. Always ensure that reports are accurate and pertinent to the incident without disclosing unnecessary personal details.
