Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

At the scene.
If the caller was believed to have more involvement than just stumbling into a crime scene, investigators might want to interview the person at the PD so the statement can be recorded on video. However, unless the person is under arrest, transporting the subject to the PD must be voluntary. If the subject does not want to go, officers would have to collect the statement on scene.
