Is a form prepared by a police community support officer excludable under the hearsay rule?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. White, 41 F.3d 1515 (9th Cir. 1994):

Nor is the form excludable as a matter observed by police officers and other law enforcement personnel. The preparation of this form was a routine, non-adversarial act made in a non-adversarial setting. See United States v. Orozco, 590 F.2d 789, 793 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 442 U.S. 920 (1979). It was not "made by law enforcement officials at the scene of a crime or the apprehension of the accused." United States v. Wilmer, 799 F.2d 495, 501 (9th Cir.1986), cert. denied, 481 U.S. 1004 (1987). The magistrate judge properly admitted this evidence under the public records exception to the hearsay rule.
