For copyright purposes, the content must have been created by you unless you have permission to share it. Information you provide about the content must be true. False statements that could harm a person’s reputation are libelous; accusing someone of something that is not true is slander, which might get you in legal trouble. It is best not to use actual names unless there is a public record of events you are describing. Even specifying a particular police department puts you at risk.
