  15. CRIME SCENE DOCUMENTATION • NOTES • VIDEO • PHOTOGRAPHY • SKETCHES

  16. CRIME SCENE DOCUMENTATION • NOTES • Immediate • Accurate • Continuing • VIDEO • 3D Documentation of scene • Orientation of scene but no narrative • DO NOT EDIT

  17. PHOTOGRAPH THE SCENE

  18. CRIME SCENE DOCUMENTATION • PHOTOGRAPHY • BEFORE MOVING EVIDENCE • SYSTEMATIC • OVERVIEW • MIDRANGE • CLOSE-UP • LOG / CAMERA SETTINGS • SCALE

  19. Three Types of Photographs • 1. Overall • 2. Midrange • 3. Closeup

  21. SKETCH THE SCENE

  22. Rough Sketch

  23. Finished Sketch

  24. CRIME SCENE SEARCH • SYSTEMATIC / METHODICAL • LINE • GRID • ZONE • WHEEL • SPIRAL

  25. Search Patterns

  26. EVALUATION OF THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE

  27. COLLECTION & PRESERVATION OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE • One CSI in charge • Priority to easily destroyed evidence • Primary packaging • Contain and protect • Secondary packaging • Seal and tamper resistant • INITIAL / DATE / TIME • Identity of item enclosed

  28. Evidence Bindles

  29. DETAILED SEARCH OF THE SCENE

  30. COLLECTION & PRESERVATION OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE • Each item separate • Wet items • Temporary in plastic • Air Dry • Permanent in paper • Arson evidence – air tight containers • Controls

  31. COLLECTION, RECORDING, MARKING AND PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE • What constitutes a seal? • Initials on article or container • Description of contents • Paper is our friend! • Evidence Bindle

  32. PROCESS THE SCENE FOR LATENT PRINTS AND COLLECT ANYPRINTS DEVELOPED
