is the conduct of processes more particularly on the recognition, search. collection, handling, preservation and documentation of physical evidence to include the identification and interview and the arrest of suspect's at the crime scene.

is the area surrounding the place where the crime occured

The investigator-on-case conduct assessment of the crime scene Investigate the incident In case where the evidence encountered needs special processing due to significant or sensational cases, the Scene of the Crime Operation (SOCO) specialists of the Crime Laboratory shall be requested

initial survey of the crime scene

the survey is an organizational stage to a planned search

This Evaluation begins upon arrival at scene and becomes detailed in preliminary survey stage. Based on preliminary survey, established evidence types most likely to be encountered. Ensure that collection and packaging equipment is sufficient for task at hand. Ensure that all personnel are aware of the great variety of possible evidence. Focus first on the easily accessible areas in open view and progress eventually to possible out-of-view locations.

ensure that a progression of overall, medium and close up views of the scene is establish

conduct search in a general manner and work to the specific regarding evidence items

the search for physical evidence is done using the accepted methods of search depending upon the actual location to be searched. The crime scene search could only be started after it has been photographed and sketched.

is simply for orientation purposes and preservation of transient evidence

One or two investigators start at the boundary of the crime scene and search in straight lines across to the other side of the crime scene A group of investigators begin at one end of the search area and they walk down that strip, at arm's length in a linear fashion

Two or more investigators form a grid by searching in line patterns that overlap and are perpendicular to each other. Searchers begin at one end of the search area and proceed in a line to the end of the search area. Once completed, searchers cover the same area from a 90° angle:

One investigator searches in a spiral path from the center of the crime scene to the boundary (outward) or from the boundary of the crime scene to the center (inward) Begin in the middle of an area and follow a clockwise pattern outward

Several investigators search in straight lines from the center to the boundary (outward) or from the boundary to the center (inward) Searchers start at common/central point and walk away from each other

The crime scene is divided into smaller sections (zones) and one or more investigators are assigned to search each zone The search area is broken down into zones and each zone is searched individually

The search will start at the immediate area at end around the body and move outward. All areas, including ceilings, windows, doors, and floors must be examined for evidence

A large area will be searched using personnel with metal detectors and sifters. The search will usually be completed using the strip method, Grid method.

Discuss search jointly with all personnel for completeness. Double-check documentation to detect inadvertent errors. Check to ensure all evidence is accounted for before departing the scene.

When two objects come into contact, materials are exchanged between them

large objects to microscopic traces

is valid to any crime scene search The goal of collection is to maintain the integrity of the evidence. Physical evidence can be anything from huge items to minute traces of blood, dust and fibers which can only be examined in the crime laboratory

Evidence must be collected, packaged, marked, sealed, and preserved in a consistent manner - Different types of physical evidence will require different packing and collection techniques - Transient, fragile, or easily lost evidence is given priority

to secure trace evidence, most items of evidence are package twice

The outer containers are then completely sealed with tamper-resistant tape and marked with information about the item

it is placed over the opening and initial by the collector

it is vital to maintaining the integrity of the evidence if the evidence is allowed to become contaminated, damaged or evaporated through mishandling, it becomes worthless
