What should the conclusion of a report never include?

The conclusion of a report should be focused on summarizing the key findings and implications based on the evidence presented throughout the document. Including an officer's opinion in the conclusion could introduce bias or subjective viewpoints that detract from the objective nature of the report's findings. Reports are typically structured to present facts, analysis, and conclusions derived from those facts rather than personal interpretations or opinions of the officer. This ensures that the report remains professional and maintains a level of credibility.

In contrast, administrative details, infra-departmental facts, and legal considerations can play a role in the report's body or introduction, providing context, framework, or necessary parameters for understanding the findings. However, they do not belong in the conclusion, which should be reserved for synthesizing information rather than introducing new perspectives or opinions.
