ROAST helps officers record an arrest in a clear, ordered way. The fourth element is the Summary of evidence. This part pulls together the material that supports the arrest and the allegations—things like witness statements, CCTV footage, recovered items, and any forensic results. The earlier elements lay out the context: the reason for arrest explains why detention is needed, the offence names the crime being alleged, and the allegation adds the specific details of the conduct. The summary of evidence then provides a concise recap of what exists to justify the arrest and informs subsequent steps, such as charging or continuing the investigation.
