Law enforcement reports contain structured fields and written narratives. However, many incident facts that are needed for review, police training, and investigations are in natural language and require manual reading. We propose a framework using symbolic methods for converting narratives into evidence-linked facts. Our objective is to measure the value of narratives to recover incident details only from the unstructured text and build temporal graphs with time cues and domain axioms. We achieve this by redacting personal identifiers, semantic parsing, predicate mapping to ontology, and reasoning. We evaluate the symbolic approach on 450 property crime reports and a short human review. Of the extracted events from the system, 54.1% had a confidence score of at least 0.80 and 93.7% were mapped through the PropBank--VerbNet--WordNet semantic path. 100% agreement was reached on incident initiation, stolen items, and temporal cues and lower agreement for forced entry interpretation.
