Portuguese term or phrase: participação e auto de notícia (in the context of an offence)
These terms appears in legislation in the context of an official report - participação da infração - to be prepared by officials when they detect and offence. I turned up this definition elsewhere: "A participação é o documento através do qual a autoridade policial ou fiscalizadora comunica à autoridade competente, para a instrução do processo contra-ordenacional, o conhecimento que obteve da prática da infracção."

This document adds: "Sempre que a participação se reporte a factos presenciados pela autoridade policial ou fiscalizadora competente, a sua denominação será de auto de notícia"

What are the equivalents in British and American English?

I’m posting this using a cell phone, unfortunately I don’t know how to post links to the websites that I checked to base this answer.
Auto de notícia, I found it on IATE and two other reliable sources for European PT.

There’s an article on quora.com that explains the difference between the 2 terms I’m suggesting.

Bom trabalho!

In the context, "official report" is more fitting than "police report", as it is not necessarily from the police. So I'm using that and "incident report".

agree  Adrian MM.: police report iate.europa.eu/search/standard/result/1569664715255/1 vs. an incident report that, in the UK, would be kept in an incident book at a police station desk and available for copying by e.g. victims, lawyers & the public.

information and criminal notice


Explanation:
Diversamente do sentido habitual, a palavra "information" também é usada no contexto jurídico com o significado de "denúncia", como, por exemplo, "to file an information against someone for the commission of a crime".
