Organize Evidence Processing Case Study

According to Victoria Police (2015), an investigator is “a person who is employed or retained to obtain and furnish information for the nature of the business or occupation of any person or alternatively

-Ensuring the security of their workers, carry out a risk assessment and then take action to reduce the chances of those risks arising, for instance monitoring CCTV cameras.

The first priority for a first responding officer(s) is safety that there is no threat to the officer or citizens at the scene. Once the scene is secured, investigators and forensics personal can process the scene. Once forensics personal is notified this is called “called out”. They should record the date and time of the call out they receive. Once at the crime scene they get a briefing about the incident. Forensic technician should record arrival time, and time briefing is over. Should also document the names and identification numbers of all personal present. Ask if any fragile evidence or area of the scene has been disturbed is important. Tracked blood, shoe or tire impressions from first responder’s activity. Start processing scene. Initial search for evidence is a search conducted by the forensic technician to survey the scene to determine and prioritize task. Records date and time the initial search for evidence. Records notes on areas of interest, and location of evidence. Notes environmental and premises conditions. Always proceed slowly (sight, smell, hearing, and touch) using senses. Night time crime scenes are difficult to see blood, firearm casings etc. hard to locate.

From day to day it may be different but typical the homicide detective will be called to a investigation scene. First off when you get to the scene I will assess and manage the scene. This means examining the victim for clues. Next I will document the scene I would complete a walk through, making sure I do not disturb any evidence. Also making permanent record of the scene, it is important to do this before moving anything. After that I will photography or videotape the scene conducting a thorough search; make a rough sketch; dust for fingerprints; identify, document, and collect all fluids and fibers: and control evidence to maintain its integrity. Then canvass the area to locate witnesses. This step is critical because more homicides are solved by canvassing than any other method. Finally identify suspects, proper handling suspects leads to a successful prosecution. But remember that all suspects are still entitled to their rights C. The excitement of going to work each day and not knowing what is in store for you is very interesting. This job may be asking a lot even in an investigation but the adrenaline is very

An investigation does not just happen. It must be an organized event that occurs. There are many steps that must be taken during an investigation. The first step to an investigation would be to preserve, document, and collect all of the evidence at the scene of the crime. The investigator would then need to establish that a crime has been committed. Once that is established, an investigator must identify all of

Making sure that the fire exits are kept clear and fire prevention equipment is kept maintained.

Preserved and appropriately maintained custody of evidence through submission of evidence to the laboratory and evidence custodian for analysis and safekeeping.

In the detection department, the Office will identify priorities and coordinate efforts for collection and analysis of information within the United States regarding threats of terrorism, and activities of terrorists within the country. It will also identify priorities for the gathering of intelligence outside the U.S. in regards to threats of terrorism within the nation. The Office will work with federal, state, and local agencies to make possible collection from state and local governments and private bodies of information related to terrorist threats or activities in the U.S. It will coordinate efforts to ensure that all executive departments and agencies that have intelligence collection responsibilities have enough technological capabilities and resources to continue to collect intelligence and data relating to terrorist activities or possible terrorist acts in the States. Also, it will manage development of monitoring protocols and equipment for detecting the release of biological, chemical, and radiological hazards. Not only that, the office will ensure that

In order to mitigate such risk, it is critical for emergency services personnel to be trained at all levels. Ensuring the implementation of hazardous materials training (HAZMAT), resourcing the proper detection devices, and most of all, training emergency personnel to both understand and identify all known indicators. Terrorist incidents involving chemical agents are so dangerous in the fact

Once all available information is analyzed a decision can be made to disinter or individuals buried as unknown or conduct field investigations. During a typical investigation mission personnel interview potential witnesses, conduct on-site reconnaissance, and surveyed terrain for safety and logistical concerns. Teams also try to generate new leads that may result in future recoveries.

By now the crime scene has been labeled a homicide and detectives have been dispatched to the scene. When the detectives arrive the lead officer will then provide a detailed crime scene briefing to the detective in charge of the scene. This briefing will be the only opportunity for the detective to receive the initial aspects of the crime scene prior to subsequent investigation. Since the crime scene and any/all evidence collected are the key factors in making a case, the crime scene must be documented as soon as possible including, appearance and condition of the scene upon arrival, lights on/off, shades up/down, doors, windows open/closed, any unusual smells, ice, liquids, weather conditions, temperature, and any personal items that may have been left behind. Once the lead detective has been briefed and evaluates the scene him/herself, he/she will then need to determine if consent to search and/or obtaining a search warrant is needed. The scene assessment allows the lead detective

With the increasing number of objects, in the web, the necessity for a recommender is sensed to catch relevant and preferred objects in a large space. Whenever people desire to purchase the product or select something amongst many things, they have to make a decision what item to select. Their choice depends on others because they may ask people for the recommendation or know their opinion indirectly. We often get recommendations from trust people like our family for choices that we do not have any experience on (Resnick & Varian, 1997). “Word-of-mouth” opinion the method that most of the people use/d is the oldest version of recommendation, for instance, you may ask your friends who book they suggest you to read

The evidence collector has many roles to play at a crime scene other than just collecting evidence. Photographer, note taker, and scene sketch artist. As a photographer it is the evidence collectors responsibility to not only take pictures of evidence that has been found. But also of the whole scene in general. Entrance and exits, whole room, and surrounding areas that may or may not be involved. As the role of note taker an evidence collector must take detailed notes. Not only noting time of initial call, who made the call, and any facts given during that call.They must note the time that they arrived at the scene as well as other officers, along with the departure time. . It must also be noted who is on the scene; along with their movements

The first is the preservation of the crime scene. If the crime scene has not been secured and borders not set up this will result in the contamination or loss of physical evidence, which is crucial in a reconstruction. The second is an investigator is the use of inductive and deductive reasoning, not have any preconceived ideas) by using the facts of the case, in addition to photography, video, crime scene sketches, and other documentation to draw inference (M.U.S.E.

Deal with all potential forensic evidence, typically including fibers, marks such as tool or footwear and trace evidence as well as any source of DNA evidence. • Recording and documenting. Forensic scientists have to record the information pertaining to an individual scene and its creation in the crime scene log.
