What type of incidents require completion of the PD Form 43?

The completion of the PD Form 43 is specifically required for incidents involving damage to or loss of D.C. Government property. This form serves as a formal documentation tool that allows the police department to track and assess incidents that result in financial loss or property damage to the government. Utilizing this form helps ensure accountability and provides a record for further investigation or response.

In contrast, while criminal incidents involving weapons, public disturbances or arrests, and traffic incidents without injuries may involve reporting, they typically fall under different reporting protocols and do not necessitate the use of PD Form 43. Focusing on the loss or damage to government property is crucial for maintaining the integrity of public resources and ensuring appropriate follow-up actions are taken.
