Law (general)
English term or phrase: IRBs
"(...) I said to police all the things that appear in their IRBs (...)"

It's a witness statement. Do you have any idea what IRB stands for and what the French equivalent is?

Explanation:
Possibly
IRB is a very common acronym and stands for a number of things. I tried to narrow it down to your specific context.

IRB Internal Revenue Bulletin (Internal Revenue Service)
IRB I Are Back
IRB Improved Ribbon Bridge
IRB Improved Rotor Blade
IRB Impulse Resistance Bridge
IRB Independent Research Board
IRB Individual Record(s) Brief

etc...

Could be "carnets/calepins/mémentos/registres de policiers"

neutral  Tom Bishop: The English might be "Incident Report Books" http://www.thebill.com/dictionary/dictionary.html "Individual record briefs" appears to be US Army. Agree probably some sort of "calepin". Would help if asker gave more detail, incl. country in question.
