INTRODUCTION:
Crime scene processing is very crucial part in the investigation of crime incident
since it is where an investigator establishes the case and where potential evidence can
be recovered that can connect the suspect to the crime. Physical evidence do not lie
and can remain forever. It can stand alone as an evidence that only needs a skilled and
diligent investigator to locate and collect it. Most of the evidence on a crime is found at
the crime scene.

TRAINING GOAL:
To provide the participants working knowledge on how to maintain the integrity of
physical evidence through the proper procedure in processing a crime scene, evidence
recognition, searching, preservation, documentation, collection and handling of physical
evidence to ensure the prosecution and conviction of criminal suspect/s in the courts of
law.

TRAINING OBJECTIVE:
At the end of the course the participants will be able to:
1. Define the different terms used in this lesson.
2. Know and understand the role of the Scene of Crime Operation (SOCO) at the
crime scene.
3. Know the basic composition, duties and responsibilities of the scene of crime
operation.
 4. Know the proper procedure on how to process different types of crime scene,
how to secure and preserve a crime scene to ensure the integrity of every
physical evidence that can be recovered at the crime scene.
5. Know the different types of searching method and its application to the crime
scene.
6. Know the different types of crime scene sketch and its purpose.
7. Know the different methods and procedure in documenting a crime scene.
8. Know how to recognize, collect, package, handle and transport different types of
physical evidence applying the lesson from the subject on Forensic Sciences.
9. Know the different examination that can be requested on a particular evidence.

SESSIONS:

1. Definition of Terms:
Crime Scene Investigation – It is the conduct of processes, more particularly the
recognition, search, collection, handling, preservation and documentation of physical
evidence to include the identification and interview of witnesses and the arrest of
suspect/s at the crime scene.
Crime Scene – A crime scene be defined as a location at which an offense was
committed and where potential for evidence of that crime may exist. It can be
understood to include all areas in which the criminal, any possible victim/s, and any
eyewitness/es moved during the time the crime was committed.

Scene of Crime Operation (SOCO) – Is a forensic procedure performed by

trained personnel of the PNP Crime Laboratory through scientific methods of
investigation for the purpose of preserving the crime scene, gathering information,
documentation, collection and handling of all physical evidence.
- It is the conduct of processes, more particularly the recognition,
search, preservation, documentation, collection, packaging and handling of physical
evidence.

2. Basic composition of the Scene of Crime Operation (SOCO)

a. Team Leader
b. Crime Photographer
c. Crime Scene Sketcher
d. Recorder
e. Evidence Collector
f. Evidence Custodian
g. Medico-legal Officer
h. Fingerprint Examiner/Technician
Note: This composition is ideal in major cases but in some cases, this can be
accomplished by trained SOCO personnel or Investigators.

3. SOCO Assistance ( See Figure 1)

In cases where the crime scene needs special processing due to its significance
or because of its sensational nature, the Scene of the Crime Operation (SOCO)
specialists of the Crime Laboratory shall be requested.
If the situation involves a clandestine drug laboratory, biological weapons,
radiological or chemical threats, the appropriate agency should be contacted prior to
entering the scene.
Significant cases:
a. Bombing Incident
 b. Initiated terrorist activities
c. Raids, ambuscade, liquidation
d. KFR case
e. Armed Robbery of Banks and other
f. Financial institution
g. Calamity/Disaster
h. Massacre
i. Heinous crimes (as define by law)
j. Murder, Homicide, Arson, Rape with Homicide
Sensational Cases:
a. Elected Public Officials (Brgy Captain up to President of the RP)
b. Appointed Public Officials with the rank of Commissioner, Secretary and
Undersecretary
c. Foreign diplomat
d. Any foreigner
e. PNP/AFP personnel
f. Former high-ranking government officials
g. Other prominent figures such as movie stars, sports stars, tri-media
practitioners, prominent businessmen, professionals, and prominent leaders
of religious organizations.

4. Preparation
Before responding to a crime scene, the SOCO team leader must first have an
idea on what type of crime they are responding too and the present situation at the
crime scene. Determine the readiness of the personnel involve, their individual
equipments and the needs at the crime scene base on the information relayed by the
requesting party.

5. Investigative Procedure at the Crime Scene

a. Upon arrival at the crime scene (See Figure 2)
1) The team leader will coordinate with the Investigator-on-case and if
possible talk to the first responders to have a better evaluation on what happened
before, during and after the incident before the arrival of the SOCO team.
2) Record time/date of arrival at the crime scene, location of the scene,
weather condition, lighting condition in the area, direction of wind and visibility.
3) Check if the crime scene is properly secured and protected, the extent of
coverage. Determine if the crime scene post any safety hazard and/or health hazard
concern to the SOCO team and other investigating unit.
4) The team leader will make a visual survey/ walk through at the crime
scene and make a mental reconstruction of the crime scene as to the original position of
objects prior to the arrival of rescue team and other personnel. Makes a general
assessment and develops a general theory of the crime scene. Establishes evidence
types most likely to be encountered and define the extend of the search area.
Note: All personnel entering the crime scene must put on surgical gloves,
shoe cover and protective clothing.
b. The team leader must reconfirm the status of the victim in a homicide or
murder case. Only coroner or a medical examiner shall remove the dead body after the
conduct of necessary documentations unless unusual circumstances justify its
immediate removal.
c. The team leader to make general assessment on what evidence that can
possibly be collected, the presence of biological and other perishable evidence that
needs special attention. Be alert for discarded evidence, make pertinent notes as to
possible entry and exit points of the perpetrator.
d. The team leader to determine appropriate place for a SOCO Command Post
that is accessible to the working personnel.
e. The team leader to conduct briefing to SOCO team members to ensure
proper examination of the crime scene and ensure the integrity of all physical evidence
at the crime scene. Determines the personnel and equipment needed and makes
specific assignments

6. Crime Scene Documentation

a. Photography and or video
The main objective of photography is to create an accurate objective visual
record of the crime scene before any item is moved or removed.
1) The crime photographer will enter the crime scene and take a photograph
of the crime scene from general to specific. Photograph should show a general view of
the front and back of the crime scene, entrance and exit at the crime scene, the
possible entrance and exit use by suspect.
2) The next photograph is a medium view of the entrance and exit at the
crime scene (indoor), the possible entrance and exit used by the suspect. An
overlapping view of the immediate crime scene (for uniformity clockwise), if possible
take a top view photograph of the crime scene. The next round of photograph on this
overlapping view will be taken after putting marker/tags on the evidence with individual
close-up photograph of the physical evidence and another round after collecting all the
physical evidence.
3) Close-up photograph of physical evidence. A second round of photograph
after the search that include exhibit number.
4) Additional close-up photograph be taken with a scale beside the evidence
that helps in determining its size.
5) The photographer prepares and fills-up photographic log. (See Figure 3).
b. Crime Scene Sketch
Sketches are prepared to indicate exact location of objects and its
relationship to each other and other objects at the crime scene. It is useful in
questioning of suspects and witnesses as well as in the writing of investigative reports.
Sketches are excellent companions to photograph. Where photographs
provide exact details, sketches offer accurate information about the placement of
objects and they show relationship and distances between things.
 Things to consider in preparing a crime scene rough sketch
Must present the exact measurement & info about the placement of objects.
1) Must be oriented to the north or show the direction of the north.
2) Must indicate an accurate measurement of objects and location of
physical evidence.
3) Must use the one of the commonly known type of measurement either
English or American.
4) Must always use fixed point or object as reference point.
5) Must indicate the tag or evidence designated number on the sketch.
6) Must contains the following information; case number, crime committed,
time and date it was prepared, location of the crime scene, rank and name of
investigator, name of victim, rank, name and signature of sketcher, name and signature
of witnesses.
7) The finish sketch will be prepared at the office for court presentation.
 8) Use the universally recommended symbols.
Note: While preparing the sketch, the sketcher should stay in one place.
 Main Type of Crime Scene Sketch
1) Rough Sketch (See Figure 4)
A rough sketch is drawn free-hand by the sketcher at the crime scene.
Changes should not be made to it after the sketcher has left the scene. This sketch will
not normally be drawn to scale, but will indicate accurate distances, dimensions, and
relative proportions.
2) Smooth/ Finish Sketch (See Figure 5)
A smooth or finish sketch is one that is finished and is frequently drawn to
scale from the information provided in the rough sketch. If a sketch is drawn to scale,
the numbers concerning the distances can be eliminated. However, if the sketch is not
drawn to scale, the distances need to be shown.
 Recommended Legend Symbols

Camera position Explosion Crater

 Types of Crime Scene Sketch

1) Location/ Neighborhood sketch (See Figure 6)
It is used to document important items within a large scene involving a
large tract of land and/or many buildings. The sketch can show the location of evidence
and its relationship to the overall scene, the relationship of each building to one another,
the location of major vegetation, fences street signs, path of egress used by the
suspects, the location of witnesses in relation to the scene. Its up to the discretion of
investigator what should be included or excluded in the sketch.
2) Floor plan/ bird’s eye view sketch (See Figure 7)
Is the simplest and most common one used in diagramming crime
scenes. It may be used in nearly all crime scene situation where the items of interest
are located in one plane. It is also the easiest for lay people such jury members/judges
to comprehend.
3) Exploded sketch/ Cross projection sketch (See Figure 8)
Is the sketch that uses the combination of the floor plan and the four
elevation views (the walls) of a room. The walls and ceiling are drawn as if they are
folded out with the ceiling placed on one of the walls. The purpose of this type of sketch
is to show points of interest on the walls, ceiling and floor.

4) Elevation sketch (See Figure 9)

The elevation sketch depicts a side, front, or rear of the exterior of a
structure or one of the interior walls in a room used when the vertical, rather than
horizontal plane is of interest. Thus, if bloodstains were present on a wall of the house,
the elevation drawing of the wall would be used to depict this scene.
 Type of Measurements
1) Triangulation Method
An object is located by drawing two straight lines
from two fixed points creating a triangle; the object is in angle
formed by the line. The triangulation method is useful in an outdoor
situation where there are no easily identified edges of roads or field
to use as reference points. Measurement follows the shape of a triangle.
2) Coordinate/ Angular method
This method uses two walls in a room as fixed
points, from which distances are measured at right angles. The
baseline could be a wall, or drawn as a mathematical center of a
room.
3) Base line method – A straight line is established
from one fixed point to another fixed point. Using one end of the line
as a starting point, an object can be located by measuring along
either side of the baseline at a right angle to the object.
4) Compass point method
A protractor is used to measure the angle Evidence Base line
between two lines. One point along a wall is selected as the
origin. An axis line drawn from the origin is the line from which
the angle is measured.
5) Grid method - Starting at a known permanent reference point at the
scene, a measurement of predetermined increments is marked off horizontally and
vertically. On each horizontal and vertical increment, a line or string is laid so that the
scene resembles many small squares. When a piece of evidence is found, it is
recorded to the nearest increment from the reference point. A measurement from the
increment to the evidence is taken horizontally and vertically.

c. Notes taking
Note taking must be a constant activity throughout the processing of the crime
scene. Prepare a narrative description of the crime scene and take note of everything
that attracted one’s attention. Take down extensive notes to document important
factors. Nothing is insignificant when it catches one’s attention. This should start once
you arrived at the crime scene until the end of the crime scene examination.
 Things to be included in Notes taking
1) Time and date arrival at the crime scene.
2) Weather condition
3) Name of investigator, first responder and time of incident or discovery
of the incident.
4) Status and detail description of the victim as to body built, height,
gender, age, injuries, estimated time of death, clothing, finger nails and other pertinent
observation made.
 5) Status of suspect if any and their personal circumstances.
6) Detailed written description of the crime scene with locations of
physical evidence and other pertinent observation noted.
7) The person who discovered and collected the physical evidence.
8) How the evidence was packaged and marked.
9) The disposition of the item when it was collected.
10) Take note of everything that will help you in preparing a narrative
report about how you process the crime scene.
11) The time and to whom you release the crime scene.

7. Crime Scene Search

a. First to be observed before the searching start:
1) Determine what type of searching patterns is most appropriate to the
crime scene.
2) Determine the number of searching team and members of the searching
team.
3) Mark/tags position of physical evidence with designated evidence number.
b. Types of searching methods
1) The quadrant or zone method – In this method, one searcher is assigned
to a quadrant then each quadrant is cut into another set of quadrant.

2) Strip method – In this method, the area is blocked out in the form of a
rectangular. The searcher proceeds slowly at the same place along path parallel to one
side of the rectangle. When a piece of evidence is found, the finder announces his
discovery and the search must stop until the evidence has been cared for. At the end of
the rectangle, the searcher turns and proceeds along new lanes.

3) Grid or double strip method – this method is a modification of strip search

method. Here, the rectangle is traversed first, parallel to the base, then parallel to the
side.

4) Spiral method – in this method, the searchers follow each other along the
path of a spiral beginning on the outside and spiraling in towards the center or vice
versa.
 5) Wheel method – this method of search, the area is considered to be
approximately circular. The searchers gather at the center and proceed outward along
the radius or spokes. The procedure should be repeated several times depending on
the size of the circle and the number of searchers.

Disadvantages of the wheel search method

1. Great increase in the area
2. Possibility of evidence contamination.

8. Collection of Physical Evidence (See Figure 11)

This is accomplished after the search is completed, the rough sketch finished
and photographs taken. Fragile evidence should be collected as they are found but
mark its location and reflect it on the sketch.
a. Things to consider before the collection of physical evidence start:
1) Determine what physical evidence to be collected first.
2) Determine what technique can be used to collect and package physical
evidence found at the crime scene.
3) Mark and package all physical evidence with complete data needed to
identify the evidence. The case number, evidence number, type of crime if possible,
description or type of evidence, time and date collected and location if possible, name of
the collector with his initial or signature, name of victim, name of investigator and name
of suspect.
4) All evidence collected should be properly marked and labeled before its
submission to the evidence custodian.
5) Evidence custodian to prepare an inventory of the evidence recovered and
fill-up the evidence log. (See Figure 12)

9. Conduct of Final Survey

The crime scene should be surveyed and search for the last time after collecting
all the evidence to ensure that no physical evidence is left behind. Different type of
search method as used in the first search can be applied. A debriefing as to the
completeness of the examination can be conducted with the examining team.

10. Release or turn-over of the crime scene (See Figure 2)

Ensure that appropriate inventory of collected evidence has been made.
a. Release the crime scene with the notion that there is only one chance to
perform job correctly and completely.
b. Release is accomplished only after completion of the final search and proper
documentation.
Note: Continuous contact between the investigator and the examiner is much
encourage.
 Transmittal of evidence to Crime Laboratory (See Figure 13)

Proper handling of physical evidence is necessary to obtain the maximum

possible information upon which scientific examination shall be based. The chain of
custody of evidence must be properly observed at all times. The following are principles
that should be observed in handling all types of evidence:
 1) The evidence should reach the laboratory in same condition as when it
was found, as much as possible.
2) The quantity of specimen should be adequate. Even with the best
equipment available, good results cannot be obtained from insufficient specimen.
3) Keep each specimen separate from others so there will be no
intermingling or mixing of known and unknown materials. Wrap and seal in individual
packages when necessary.
4) Mark or label each of evidence for positive identification as the evidence
taken from particular location in connection with the crime under investigation.
5) Submit a known or standard specimen for comparison purposes.
6) The chain of custody of evidence must be maintained. Any break in this
chain of custody may make the material inadmissible as evidence in court.

SUMMARY:

The subject makes the participants more aware on the proper procedure on how
to process a crime scene, the importance of crime scene preservation, handling and
collection of physical evidence. The required knowledge or information that an
investigator should know, how he deals with different types of crime scene and identify
the suspect and bring him before the court of law. The practical exercises with a crime
scene scenario allows the participants have a hands-on how to apply the lesson learn
on the lecture. Critique and open discussion at the end, allows exchange of views and
better understanding about the lesson. Each group will submit report.

This illustration shows the procedure at the crime scene.
