Chapter 1
UV
1. What is the principle to a successful management of evidence at a crime scene?
Scene security
IA
2. What needs to be documented to ensure the integrity of a scene? What will happen if
changes are undocumented?
_A
Any disruptions to the scene (or any items within it) from the condition found by
initial responding officers must be documented in their report. Any manipulation of
PP
the scene including for medical or safety reasons must be documented.
Undocumented changes to the scene and items within it degrade the evidence, bring
the investigating agency’s credibility into question, and are likely to negatively affect
RO
forensic analysis and lead to the inadmissibility of the physical evidence.
3. What should the preliminary documentation of a scene include?
VE
Preliminary documentation includes notes and rough scene sketches of the location
as they were found by investigators during an initial walk-through. This initial
D?
documentation may include the investigator’s own relevant observations of the
condition of the crime scene and items within it as well as information from first

, responders that relates to changes made to the crime scene due to medical
intervention or for safety reasons during the time period between the initial
response and the arrival of the investigator. While the first responders may relay
such information to investigators, the investigators should request that the first
ST
responders include the information in their own reports.
4. What should be recorded in the scene documentation prior to the collection of any
UV
physical evidence? Why?
Recording the condition, position and location of physical evidence prior to
collection provides critical information and context to the investigation. A well-
IA
documented scene ensures the integrity of the investigation and provides a
permanent record for later evaluation. Failure to accurately and completely
_A
document the crime scene may negatively impact follow on forensic analysis
including crime scene reconstruction and judicial proceedings.
PP
5. What should be included in the crime scene notes? When should notes be taken?
Notes should be taken continuously throughout the scene investigation. Included in
RO
the documentation should be observations of the scene as it appears and items
deemed to be of potential evidentiary value. In addition to contextual data about the
scene (date, location, time) transient evidence (odours, sounds) and conditions
VE
(weather, temperature) should also be noted. Just as any processing done on scene
should be documented, so should any situations which require deviation from
D?
standard procedures.
6. Why is diagramming used?
