For an employee witness, which items are typically included in the statement?

• A. The name of the witness, the title of the witness, and the signature of the interviewer
• B. The witness's home address
• C. The witness's social media handles
• D. The department budget

Answer: (A)

The statement should clearly establish who is speaking and who recorded the statement. The witness’s name and job title identify the person and the capacity in which they are testifying, which helps determine relevance and potential perspective. The interviewer’s signature serves as an attestation that the interview occurred, the information was recorded accurately, and the witness had an opportunity to review and confirm the content. This combination creates a reliable, traceable record that can be relied upon in the investigation.

Details like the witness’s home address or social media handles aren’t necessary for the purpose of documenting the testimony and can raise privacy concerns, while the department budget is unrelated to the witness’s statement.
