INTRODUCTION

1) The Definition Of Crime Scene

Any physical scene, anywhere, that may provide possible evidence to an investigator is
referred to as a crime scene. It can include a person's body, any form of structure, cars,
open-air environments, or something found there. As a result, a "crime scene
examination" is one in which forensic or scientific techniques are used to preserve and
gather physical evidence of a crime.

2)Importance Of Crime Scene

The crime scene gives useful information such as: • Create a corpus delicti (body of the
crime).
a)Form a relationship between the criminal, the victim, and the crime/incident scene.
b)Analyze the pattern and sequence of events, and the modus operandi.
c)Help with reconstruction Provide evidence to the officer in charge of investigating.

Important Procedures In Crime Scene Investigation And Management

1. The crime scene is a dynamic and rapidly changing environment, and the first co-pilot
who arrives at the scene has a myriad of details to deal with.
2. The acts and steps followed by the first officer to arrive at the crime scene determine
the success of the investigation and, maybe, the probability for a successful resolution
of the case.
3. The crime scene is where most of the physical evidence associated with a crime is
obtained. It provides investigators with a starting point for investigating the identity of
suspects and victims and summarizing the criminal situation.
4. Physical evidence discovered at the crime scene can carry the key to solving the
case.
5. Footprints, fiber, paint, tyre marks, blood, weapon, soil, glass, and documents are
types of physical evidence.

Collection and preservation procedures for biological evidence

• Extreme heat and humidity can cause DNA to decay, thus dried biological evidence
should be preserved in a location that avoids these conditions. Items that are dry and
have a strange smell should be kept in a sealed plastic bag. Biological evidence that
can't be dried properly should be kept frozen.

Choose a physical evidence and describe the collection and preservation procedures
Physical Evidence is any object or item that establishes that a crime has been
committed or establishes a link between a crime and its perpetrator or crime and its
victim. Examples of physical evidence include a document, a hair, fibers, fingerprints,
soil, and blood.

Choose a firearm evidence and describe the collection and preservation procedures
Firearms must be rendered safe before submission to the crime lab. The firearm should be
packaged in an envelope or paper bag separately from the ammunition and or magazine. The
ammunition and/or magazine should be placed in a paper envelope or bag. It is important that the
ammunition found in the gun be submitted to the crime lab. Any boxes of similar ammunition found in
a suspect's possession should also be placed in a paper container and sent to the crime lab.
Casings and or bullets found at the crime scene should be packaged separately and placed in paper
envelopes or small cardboard pillboxes.

CONCLUSION

A crime scene is a sensitive area that requires the methodical collection and recovery of
evidence in order to deduce the events of a crime. Information is collected from this site
by technicians to enable the police to correctly identify suspects and victims involved;
therefore, a high degree of accuracy is required. As a technician, you have to consider
the various problems you may encounter in a crime scene that might frustrate your
ability to work.Crime scenes draw a lot of attention from various quarters including the
police investigation department and the media. It is also a curiosity for onlookers who
could become unmanageable, therefore posing a threat to the crime scene and to your
safety while working. The constant movement and presence of people is an impediment
to your ability to process the site adequately. It can also make it difficult for you to
meaningfully engage with potential eye-witnesses.Ultimately, only a small number of
people should work at a crime scene. Make sure you are in a team of not more than five
individuals with diverging fields of expertise so that you each have delegated
responsibilities. Police presence is also necessary so that you can work safely without
further interference from the public or unauthorized individuals. Keep evidence safely in
individual bags, and note down every detail that you collect. Taking photographs is
helpful as you can use them for reference once the scene has been cleared out.
