What is a record, in chronological order, of all police activities occurring in a precinct each day called?

• A. Incident log
• B. Activity journal
• C. Field notebook
• D. Police blotter

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is identifying the everyday, time-ordered record of everything happening in a precinct. The standard term for that daily, chronological rundown is the police blotter. It serves as a concise, public-facing summary of incidents, calls for service, arrests, and other police activities, organized by time for each day.

Why this fits best: a blotter is specifically the daily chronicle kept by the department, intended to show what occurred within the precinct on that day in order. Other terms don’t match that standard usage: an incident log is typically a more formal, internal record; a field notebook is a officer’s personal in-field notes; an activity journal is a generic label that isn’t the conventional police term for the daily precinct-wide record.
