In the LE narrative sequence, what step follows 'Receive information'?

• A. Act on information
• B. Receive additional info
• C. Delete information
• D. Fabricate information

Answer: (A)

In a law enforcement narrative, information must be translated into action. After receiving information, the responsible next step is to act on it—make decisions, initiate the appropriate response, and begin the necessary procedures or interventions. This keeps the narrative grounded in what actually happened and shows how the information was used to influence events, which is essential for accountability and clarity in the report.

Choosing to act on information aligns with the purpose of the sequence: moving from awareness to concrete steps taken. Seeking additional information can occur later if gaps exist, but the immediate logical flow is to apply what has been received. Deleting or fabricating information would violate professional standards and integrity, so those options are not part of the proper sequence.
