Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 2
Unit 7 Learning Objective
At the completion of this unit the student will be able to describe the expected functions of the Performance . Offensive Technician during a law enforcement investigation and how their
extensive training in HAZMAT and WMD can be of great value.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 3
Student Performance Objectives
• Understand the importance of procedures used by law enforcement in conducting a criminal investigation, in coordinating gathering of evidence with law enforcement, sharing intelligence, and observing chain of custody in protecting crime scene evidence.
• Follow departmental procedures for requesting law enforcement assistance in handling and securing suspicious packages.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 4
Student Performance Objectives
• Recognize the importance of coordination with other agencies on the scene in gathering evidence and intelligence. Understand the importance of development and sharing of the latest intelligence that has been gathered from the scene, including information from special operations activities. Recognize that this information should be shared with the on scene incident commander (or designee, or the leadership team under the unified command) and the senior law enforcement leadership at the scene.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 5
Student Performance Objectives
• Recognize the importance of coordination with other agencies on the scene in gathering evidence and intelligence. Understand the importance of development and sharing of the latest intelligence that has been gathered from the scene, including signs, symptoms, and treatment, as well as information from interviews with victims and other potentially contaminated individuals. Recognize that this information should be shared with the emergency medical manager, the on-scene incident commander (or designee, or the leadership team under the unified command), and the senior law enforcement leadership at the scene.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 6
Student Performance Objectives
• Know how to collect and forward intelligence regarding potential terrorist/criminal actions involving possible WMD agents or hazardous materials. Be able to coordinate the gathering of such intelligence from various sources that may be on the scene. Forward this information to the HazMat manager and the incident commander (or designee) at the scene.
• Be able to work with law enforcement to gather evidence in the hot zone following scene security measures and safety procedures in coordination with the incident commander.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 7
Crime Scene
A crime scene is a location where an actual crime has taken place or there is a possibility that a crime has taken place.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 8
Criminal Investigation
Typical process whereby police are able to link an offender to the crime is through
the use of investigation and finding of evidence at the scene.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 9
WMD Crime Scene• Emergency responders should consider life safety as the first
priority.• Every WMD crime scene is different and should be handled
accordingly.• Initial response to a WMD crime scene may have very few
perimeters and be difficult to define.• WMD crime scenes have the capability to cause mass casualties
and extraordinary damage or vice versa, small damage and few casualties.
• Initial actions taken by responders at the scene by the emergency responders are critical for the preservation of evidence.
• Once the crime scene has been established, law enforcement should control ALL access to the and from the scene.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 10
Recognition of Criminal Activity
WMD Techs should follow departmental procedures for requesting law
enforcement assistance in handling and securing suspicious packages or
suspicious persons.
FBI System for predicting threats
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 11
WMD Crime Scene Response
• Assignments
• Recognition
• Detection
• Self Protection
• Scene Security
• Notification
• Protect the Scene
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 12
Scene Coordination
Responders should be able to recognize the importance of coordination with other
agencies on the scene in gathering evidence and intelligence.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 13
Information Sharing
It is important of developing and sharing of the latest intelligence that has been
gathered from the scene, including signs, symptoms, and treatment, as well as
information from interviews with victims and other potentially contaminated
individuals.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 14
Evidence Collection
• Physical EvidenceRIP – Recognized, Identified, Preserved
• Testimonial Evidence
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 15
Documentary Evidence
Documentary evidence must be relevant to the case before the court before it can
be admissible. In the case of writings, the authenticity of the document is one aspect
of relevancy.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 16
Discovery
Discovery is a pretrial procedure in which one party gains information held by the other party regarding the case
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 17
Chain of Custody
Chain if custody is the process that begins once evidence is identified. The best way to think about chain of custody is to visualize a continuous loop of links that connect together adding anyone to the loop when the evidence changes
hands to another person.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 18
TESTIMONY !DO NOT RATIONALIZE ON THE STAND
DURING ANY TESTIMONY.
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW, SAY YOU DON’T KNOW.
NEVER LIE !
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 19
Intelligence
• Recognize it as evidence
• Forward the information about the intelligence to the supervisor
• Supervision verifies
• Supervision notifies command post
• Command post forwards to joint operations center
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 21
WMD Prosecution
All WMD crimes fall under the jurisdiction, or the territorial range of authority and
control, of the Federal courts.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 22
Federal Statues
18 USC 2332a: Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction
18 USC 175: Prohibitions with Respect to Biological Weapons
18 USC 229: Prohibited Activities
18 USC 831: Prohibited Transactions Involving Nuclear Materials
18 USC 876: Mailing Threatening Communications
18 USC 842: Importation, Manufacture, Distribution, and Storage Explosives
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 23
FBI 12 Step Evidence Collection
When Federal response teams arrive they will most likely use the FBI’s Twelve-Step Process of evidence collection. It is very
much so recommended that the WMD Tech be familiar with this Twelve-Step
Process because it is a highly regarded and tested method for the collection of
evidence.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 24
FBI 12 Step Evidence Collection
Step 1 – Preparation
Preparation for the collection of evidence begins before the incident.

Step 2 – Approach the Scene
Emergency responders must consider personal safety and be mentally
prepared while approaching the scene.
Technician Module 2 Unit 7 Slide 26

Step 3 – Secure and Protect the Scene
A perimeter must be set up around, and control zones established within, the
crime scene in order to have an appropriate work environment.

Step 4 – Initiate Preliminary Survey
The survey is the organizational stage for the entire search plan

Step 5 – Evaluate Physical Evidence Possibilities
The team leader will determine what types of evidence are most likely to be
encountered, and ensure that the transient, volatile, or perishable evidence
is collected first.

Step 6 – Prepare Narrative Description
The narrative description begins as a written document (it may be dictated) that
presents the scene in general text and becomes more specific and detailed as
the investigation continues.

Step 7 – Depict Scene Photographically
Photography is a planned process beginning with overall views and
progressing inward t more detail, using a variety of equipment.

Step 8 – Prepare Diagram/Sketch of Scene
An entry team member usually prepares the sketches and diagrams concurrently with other activities such as photography
and reconnaissance.

Step 9 – Conduct Detailed Search
The initial plan determines which items constitute evidence and how they will be
collected.

Step 10 – Record and Collect Physical Evidence
When potential evidence is discovered, it is processed in a specific order from
handling fragile evidence to turning the evidence over to the evidence custodian.

Step 11 – Conduct Final Survey
The final survey involves a review by all team members to discover if anything has
been overlooked or if additional work is needed.

Step 12 – Releasing the Crime Scene
Releasing the scene to the property owner requires that he or she be informed of any remaining potential hazards and of
his or her obligations, with the cleanup contractor, to return the site to a safe
condition.
