II. Arrest records shall contain, at a minimum:
(a) The identity of the individual arrested;
(b) The identity of the arresting officer or officers unless the officer's supervisor has good cause to believe that identifying the officer would not serve the public interest;
(c) A statement as to reasons why and how the arrest was made;
(d) The alleged crime; and
