Metropolitan Police (London)

Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of becoming a Police Constable for the MET. I've passed my day 1 completed my CKP and have my day 2 on the 28th of November.

My problem is that I'm not sure If I should of declared an incident that happened back in 2009. What happened is that I was messing around on a building site in a park which was not closed off to the public as a fence for it had blown over.
