POLICE BLOTTERS:

   ALTHOUGH POLICE BLOTTERS ARE OF LITTLE PROBATIVE VALUE, THEY ARE NEVERTHELESS ADMISSIBLE AND CONSIDERED IN THE ABSENCE OF COMPETENT EVIDENCE TO REFUTE THE FACTS STATED THEREIN. Entries in police records made by a police officer in the performance of the duty especially enjoined by law are prima facie evidence of the fact therein stated, and their probative value may be either substantiated or nullified by other competent evidence. (MCMER CORPORATION, INC. VS. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS COMMISSION [2014]).
