Documentation Protocol

















Documenting the scene is one of the most important parts of the crime scene protocol. One must make sketches as well as take photographs of the crime scene area as well as adding the location of evidence to the sketch.

Examination Protocol

Next in an examination you must identify potential evidence, just to get the general layout of the crime scene.

The Interviewing Protocol



In an interview you must question the first officer on the scene as well as witnesses and victims only to determine the sequence of events.

Crime Scene Protocol

Once the investigator in charge of the crime scene arrives, she should conduct a scene assessment and conduct a scene walkthrough and initial documentation (Knight). The crime scene protocol consists of an interview, examination and documentation of the crime scene, then processing the evidence.
