What word best describes what is required regarding statements?

Recorded
Verbatim
Paraphrased
Hand written

The correct answer is: Verbatim

In the context of a security guard's duties, any statements made by witnesses, victims, or other relevant parties should ideally be reported verbatim. This means that the words should be recorded exactly as they were spoken, without any alterations. The main reason for this is to ensure that the information is as accurate as possible, which can be crucial for later investigations or legal proceedings. When a statement is recorded verbatim, it preserves the speaker's own words, tone and, to a certain extent, their intentions and emotions, which could aid greatly in understanding the situation to a fuller extent. On the other hand, If statements are paraphrased, hand-written or only recorded, it doesn’t guarantee the exactness and there could be potential for misinterpretation or information loss.
