At the scene of a crime, police are trained to treat everyone as either a victim or a suspected perpetrator. If you are a victim of the crime, by all means talk to the officer and provide the best information you can to help with the investigation. By doing so, it allows the investigationg officers to collect as much evidence as possible to aid in appreheding the suspect.
If you are not a victim, you must give your correct name and address when questioned by a police officer. Failure to do so may be obstruction of official business. Beyond that, you can remain silent or ask for time to go and talk to an attorney before making a statement.
If the officer takes you in for questioning, it is best to say nothing until you speak to a lawyer.
