Word Count: 200 words (minimum)

Write a script of the police report at the end of your play. Explain what the police heard, found and did and what happened to both victims and criminals.

Think about using formal language or police jargon.

This script could be performed as a MONOLOGUE

Police officer 1: OK, miss, we understand what you are going through, but you just have to answer some of these questions before you go.

Mother: Fine! I just want this all to be over! I want to be left in peace!

Police officer 2: We understand, now, where did you send her?

Mother: To her grandmas, she’s sick and needed medicine, you know?

Police officer 2: and you sent her alone?

Police officer 1: What time was this?

Mother: Just be quiet! One at a time, yes I sent her alone, I couldn’t be with her, I was busy, k?

Police officer 1: and the time?

Mother: Oh, just around, you know… 9 or 10, I dunno. 

Police officer 2: Morning or night?

(Mother pauses and pretends thinks of what to say)

Mother: Night… But, she goes out alone at night a lot, you know, to go to the shops and that for me.

Police officer 1: have you or your daughter ever been involved in any street gangs, or shady people?

Mother: No! She’s just a kid! Jeese!

Police officer 1: And as for you?

Mother: No. And this is about my little angel-cake. Not me, aren’t you supposed to be police men or something?

Police officer 2: Yes, we just need to ask a few questions about her background before we set up a proper investigation.

Mother: What is there to know? She’s a little girl(she gestures her hand to show) about this tall, not very tall, skinny, red cap and brown hair. Is that what you need to know?

Police officer 1: That is very helpful, but also, what path did she take?

Mother: Oh, you know, through the under- pass. You know?

Police officer 2: yes we know that way, but can I ask, isn’t that the area where most of the gangs hang out?

Mother: Well yeah, but she knows not to talk to strangers, after what happened to her Da- any way what does it matter? Shouldn’t you be running the investigation by now, I am worried sick!(she pulled a sad face, as if she’s about to cry.)

Police officer 1: Yes that should be enough info, we will leave you be miss, and don’t worry, we have our best detectives on the case! She should be back in your arms very soon!
