SECOND PART OF CLA (REPORT
WRITING)
INTRODUCTION
This is the second section of the
UNPOL Combined Language Assessment. It
is divided into two parts. In the first part you will hear one person
describing the mission-related topic you have just read about in the Reading
Comprehension – it will be introduced as the Narrative. In the second part, you
will hear a conversation between two people who are discussing the same
mission-related topic – it will be introduced as the Dialogue.
Please be reminded that the use of
any computer devices, microphones, books, external notes or assistance from
others is not permitted. Candidates who fail to observe appropriate conduct
during this test will be excluded from the assessment process. Such actions
will be duly noted and communicated in writing to the authorities of the Member
State concerned and to the SAAT Coordinator in the UN Police Division.
You will be given a Report Writing Form and another Blank Sheet of
paper. Take careful notes on the Blank Sheet of paper of both the Narrative and
the Dialogue. Pay attention to the important facts and key information. You
will hear the recording only one time.
Once the Narrative and Dialogue are finished, you will be asked to use
your notes from both the Reading and the Audio parts to write your own complete
police report.
You will have 30 minutes to complete your police report. The instructor
will indicate when these 30 minutes begin. The instructor will then announce
when there are 5 minutes remaining and when there is one final minute.
Please do not forget to write your full name and your individual test
serial number clearly in the spaces provided on the Report Writing Sheet.
Good Luck!
NARRATIVE
Following the phone
calls made to Ms. Red by the kidnappers, the police showed up at the night club
called After Dark at 3.00 hours on 9 May 2011. They forced their way inside,
freed Mr. Red and arrested the kidnappers. Following one week of captivity, Mr.
Red was taken to the Martissant station by UNPOL officers for interrogation in
order to shed light on the circumstances of his kidnapping.
Mr. Red explained
that, on Sunday 1 May 2011, he went to the clinic early in the morning to see a
doctor and get examined for stomach pain. While he was inside the clinic waiting
for his appointment, three Haitian men entered the clinic, looked at him with
insistence, and immediately went back outside. He found it suspicious, but did
not pay too much attention to it. After seeing the doctor, he walked out of the
clinic and waited for a few minutes in front of the medical center for his
sister to arrive.
Suddenly, a brown
mini-bus appeared in front of him and stopped. He was violently forced inside
by the three men he had previously seen in the clinic. They were yelling and swearing
at him. There were two other men sitting in the front of the vehicle, wearing
masks and keeping quiet.
Mr. Red was taken to
the night club called “After Dark”, located in Jacmel. After their arrival, Mr.
Red was taken to the owner of the club, whom he knew very well.
Mr. Red explained
that he had previously been involved in some illegal business with the owner of
the club. Following orders from him, Mr. Red smuggled goods from the Dominican
Republic. Mr. Red was detained by police for about three months, and regained
his freedom on 30 April 2011. He decided to stop any involvement in the illegal
business. He now wanted to get back to an honest life and redeem himself.
Mr. Red said that
while in captivity, the owner of the night club threatened him, saying he
wanted his money back. Mr. Red stated that he didn’t know what money he was
referring to and repeated he did not owe anyone any money.
Mr. Red was locked up
and handcuffed in the storage room of the club. He was bitten a number of times
by the owner of the club during his detention.
DIALOGUE
Police
Officer: Please state your name and
date of birth for the record.
Victim: My name is Charley Red. I was
born on 4 February 1981.
Police
Officer: First of all, we are very
glad you got released after one week of being held hostage. Are you fine?
Victim: I
feel shocked after the police operation, but at least I’m not injured.
Police Officer: I realize that we made a lot of noise while breaking in. But now - could you explain me what happened on Sunday 1 May 2011?
Victim: Sure. I had been having stomach
pain for about a week. So I made an
appointment at the clinic to see a doctor about it that morning.
Police
Officer: So you saw a doctor?
Victim: Yes. He gave me some medication
to take.
Police
Officer: So after you had your
appointment you were kidnapped?
Victim: Yes. But I have to say that
while I was waiting in the clinic, three Haitian men came in, looked at me with
insistence, and immediately went back outside. I found it very suspicious, but
I didn’t pay much attention to them.
Police
Officer: Do you know these men?
Victim: No, not at all.
Police
Officer: Keep going please. What
happened after that?
Victim: After seeing the doctor, I
walked out of the clinic and waited for my sister to arrive. After a few minutes, a brown mini-bus stopped
in front of me. The three men that I had previously seen inside the clinic
violently forced me inside, yelling and swearing at me.
Police
Officer: There were only three men inside
the vehicle?
Victim: No.
There were two other men sitting in the front, wearing masks and keeping quiet.
Police
Officer: Where did they take you?
Victim: They took me to a night club I
know very well. It’s called “After Dark” and it’s located in Jacmel. As soon as
we arrived there, I was taken to the owner of the club, whom I also know very
well.
Police
Officer: Do you have any idea why
these men kidnapped you?
Victim: Well, I was previously involved
in some illegal business with the owner of the night club. He used to give me
orders to smuggle goods from the Dominican Republic.
Police
Officer: We know that you were
arrested by the Haitian National Police for smuggling meat and cigarettes about
three months ago. When were you released?
Victim: I was released on 30 April
2011.
Police
Officer: So why did they kidnap you?
Victim: The owner of the night club
threatened me and said he wanted his money back. I have no idea what he was
talking about, since I don’t owe money to anyone. And while I was in the jail I
decided to stop any illegal activity with him. I don’t want to go to prison
again.
Police
Officer: We found you handcuffed at
the storage room of the club. When did they put handcuffs on you?
Victim: It happened the very first day,
before they locked me up. The owner of the club came a number of times and bit
me during my detention.
Police
Officer: You will be taken to the doctor right now. Stay safe!
Victim: Thank you.
