Key Features

• All-Weather Field-Flex Cover: The textured black polymer cover flexes without creasing, sheds water on contact, and conforms naturally to your shirt pocket. Evidence rulers in both imperial and metric scales run along the back cover for use as a photo scale at scenes.
• 112 Numbered Pages, Legal Pattern: Every page is pre-numbered and printed in a legal pattern with blue and gray ink. Sequential numbering creates a provable chain of custody for your notes, which is essential for valid testimony.
• 20# Rite in the Rain All-Weather Paper: White, non-perforated sheets repel water, sweat, and field grime. Write with a standard No. 2 pencil or an all-weather pen when wet. Standard ballpoints and permanent markers work on dry paper; water-based inks are not compatible.
• Perfect Bound with Weatherproof Glue: The binding uses weatherproof adhesive to keep pages secure in wet conditions. Rounded corners prevent folding and extend the life of the notebook.

• Title Page Included: Each notebook features a dedicated title page for officer identification, case number, and date fields.

Intended Users

The Rite in the Rain 1023 is built for working professionals whose notes need to survive the field and hold up in legal proceedings.

Law enforcement officers and patrol deputies rely on this notebook every shift to document field interviews, traffic stops, and incident narratives. The numbered pages and permanent binding give prosecutors and defense counsel alike a verifiable record of when each note was taken.

Detectives and investigators use the 1023 to log case observations, sketch scene diagrams, and record witness statements. The legal pattern and back-cover reference tools support methodical, court-ready documentation from the first moment on scene.

Evidence technicians and crime scene investigators benefit from the built-in evidence rulers, which allow the back cover to serve as an immediate photo scale during scene photography without requiring a separate tool.
