The first thing that was done was appropriate PPE was worn; this includes a suit and
gloves to protect the clothes we were wearing and our skin. Before anyone should step
foot inside the crime scene, it is the first attending officer's job to take steps analytically and
carefully towards the crime scene. Numbers were put on each piece of evidence before col-
lecting. Next pictures and sketches were taken of the crime scene and any pieces of
evidence found. After that notes of biological, chemical, and physical evidence were
taken of anything important that was left in the crime scene. If the officer needs to
change something during the investigation, notes should be made of this as well as the
times. This information collected will be finding out the point of entrance/exit, taking photos
done with a professional camera was done also. After all the evidence was recorded and
notes were taken, it was time to collect the evidence carefully with appropriate
gloves and were worn and the evidence was put into a plastic bag. We found a lip-
stick print on a wine glass, so we swabbed it with a cotton bud, and this was placed
into an evidence bag and sealed. The main piece of evidence was the body lying on
the ground, we searched this body with gloves to find specific pieces of evidence; ID
was found, a note and drugs (weed and cocaine) was found near the body. All these
pieces of evidence were carefully placed in an evidence bag. Not only that but there
was blood found on a table near the body and near the body on the floor; both were
swabbed carefully whilst wearing gloves and the cotton bud was put into an evidence
bag.
This was the body found at the crime scene after it was
sectioned off for protection and to prevent any
unauthorised personnel entering. On the right is the first
piece of evidence that was noticed and taken pictures of.
This is the blood splatters that were found next to the
