When can a police report be used as evidence? Is this example hearsay?

A police officer comes to scene of an alleged crime. The witnesses/victims of the alleged crime state their knowledge of the events, rather the the police officer him or herself. The police officer records the testimony of the witnesses and places the testimony into a police report. Can this police report with testimony from witnesses be used as party admissions of those witnesses?

So, for example, if one witness says, "The individual has been following me around town for the past three weeks," can a defendant use the individual's testimony in the police report as a party admission in the court of law?
